Boko Haram Kills Father Of Goodluck's Ex Political Adviser (Gulak)

The Boko Haram insurgents had for close to a month laid siege on many towns and villages of Adamawa State and were allegedly operating the full version of Islamic law in the areas they captured.

Reports from Gulak indicated that the decomposed body of his father was found three days after he died in his residence, as nobody could attend to him after the town was deserted following the incursion of Boko Haram insurgents.

Some of the trapped residents who escaped by the whiskers said the situation in the town was pathetic, as the insurgents had killed many residents, while they cut up the arms of others, as many others especially the elderly died due to dearth of medical care.

They said many among the elderly people trapped in the town have died while trying to escape through the hills to neighbouring villages to get medical attention.

They also reported that corpses had virtually littered the town, as pigs and dogs had a field day feasting on them as no one could give them a befitting burial.

Meanwhile, Adamawa State Acting Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, in a press statement issued by his spokesman Solomon Kumangar, commiserated with the families of the deceased.

The governor lamented over the dead of Alhaji Ali Gilari and others who lost their lives in similar circumstances.
