An eyewitness and also a lawyer in the community, Luka Agbu said no security officer came to their rescue during the attack
"The attackers were very hostile to us and did not spare even children or the aged. The attackers shot at people and burnt houses at the same time without any intervention by the security forces. We are helpless here and we plead with the Federal Government to deploy special troops to rescue us from this unfortunate and deadly attacks. Our people are being killed by gunmen, we are losing property on a daily basis. What kind of a country is this?” Agbu said
“We have deployed 50 soldiers from Yola to add to the troops on the ground who were deployed from Serti and Takum and with a reasonable number of policemen on the ground, we hope the situation would improve" he said
He also ordered the reopening of the General Hospital in the Local Government which was before now shut down due to the Dusk to Dawn curfew imposed in the area. He also announced that the 24hr curfew has been relaxed and would start by 12noon- 6pm

Attacks are so common is Nigeria now that it's no longer news. It's something we all now look forward to. Hundreds of our countrymen and women are lost on weekly bases. When are we gonna have the calibers of persons that will helm to the affairs. What an absurd. This is indeed a political buffoonery, primordial tyranny, call it whatever. Am so sick of this ungodly acts. This only happen to the poor. Why? God I'd watching.
What joy do some individual derive by killing their own fellow human beings for God sake..... so 50 people dead and gone and will be forgotten forever.... May their souls R.I.P.....

God save ur children plzzzzzzz! Evryday in naija we hia of killings evrwher...divine intervention lord!
How does this happen when there's a dusk to dawn curfew? The state government should better wake up security wise. This trend of waking up everyday with news of people being killed has to stop.
Wild wild North.
With each passing day,the sanctity of the human life is being rubbished in the Northern part of Nigeria. The killing of another human is no longer a big deal.
Just like the other part of the country helped reduce kidnapping activities,northern elders ought to do something as soon as possible to stop this evil trend before it consumes them all.
~BONARIO~says so via NOKIA LUMIA
Same sad story almost every day,God please protect us, we can't do it on our own.
God Help us in Nja. I wonder wen dese political nonsense will stop!.......dese nos of death dey quote everyday, aint dey humans? Na people dey die evryday so o. Fed Govt yall knw wat to do. Yall dnt just wanna take d bold step cos yall dnt wanna step on toes #corruption
BRUTALITY.......
who has declared war on the north? who wants northerners reduced? who wants the economy of the north destroyed? who wants to strike terror and fear in the north to deter them from voting in 2015? who wants no northerner elected as president? who wants to destroy the credibility of the northerners? These are the objectives of the sponsors and real faces behind the terror spreading across the north. boko haram is just a smokescreen to brainwash nigerians. Is it possible for a group of civilians to be more powerful than the entire nigerian army, airforce and navy without top Govt connivance? why was a plane full of ammunition purchased by the Govt? The same plane that overshot the runway in Nnamdi Azikiwe airport, Abuja? Nigerians please, are we so gullible?
Oh God! Hw long will this evil prevail in Nigeria. Lord intervene oooooo
DEBBIE_LUV says so
hmmm. The wickedness of men in the name of 'crazy and insane ideology'.
Boko haram no go rest,killing innocent people for no reason
Lord 've mercy! When will Nigerians start holding their state governors accountable, just coz d reighning song is "fed govt" let's all join the chorus. Eish.

Lord the soil in the north is blackened by fire and soaked in blood, the streets littered in debris and human carcass. That is what has become of a region once renowned for its peace and homeliness.
Na wa ooO una nor dey tire?
It still baffles me why some set of people will embark on a mission to take lives...!!! Something must be wrong somewhere...
I weep for Nigeria! So sad!
