Senator Ishaku Abbo has alleged
that security forces were aware of the hideouts of bandits that killed his
uncle at Muchalla ward in Mubi Local Government Area of Adamawa State.

gunmen killed Abbo’s uncle and made away with the step-mother
The senator, Abbo, representing
Adamawa North District in the National Assembly, alleged that the military and
police personnel know the kidnappers’ hideout, which he claimed is two
kilometres outside Mubi town.
He alleged the security forces
have curiously failed to dislodge the criminals.
In his statement to journalists
in Abuja on Saturday evening, Senator Abbo said that about thirteen gunmen
wielding Ak-47 rifles killed his uncle.
“About 13 gunmen armed with AK
47, invaded my family house around 1 am on Saturday and shot my uncle dead.
“They dragged my father and
brothers out of their rooms and went after my stepmother when they were told
that my biological mother was late.
“They took the poor woman away
and left behind, her 11 day-old child; my stepmother is still with the
kidnappers now and the kidnappers have called me with a Cameroonian MTN number
but they are yet to demand ransom.”
“The Federal Government, the
military and the police are not doing enough in the aspect of insecurity in
this country.
“The security agencies and the
military know the hideouts of the criminals but they will not go after them.
“Of what use is the Army barracks
and the Mobile Police base in Mubi when they cannot enter two kilometres into
the bush and dislodge the kidnappers?
“The kidnappers are using the
ransom they are collecting to fund terrorism in this country, that’s just the
truth,” Senator Abbo stated.
