ADAMAWA State would have witnessed another crisis on Friday but for the quick intervention of the Adamawa State Police Command, which quickly arrested two Police officers over alleged murder of two Fulani youths in Toungo Local Government Area of the state. The two policemen allegedly shot their victims over an argument on N50 bribe in front of the local government headquarters at 5p.m.
Speaking to journalists in Yola, the National Liaison Officer of Miyetti Allah, Malam Sanusi Bara, said: “It would have been bloody if leaders of the group had not pleaded seriously with the angry crowd.”
According to Malam Sanusi, the names of the deceased are Jibo and Maikudi. He produced some bullet shells he said were picked at the scene of the incident with number BO80/811, NNY 1987.
Sanusi said one of the deceased father, Dawa Musa, has now been left to cater for Jibo’s two children and a woman which Maikudi was preparing to marry.
A similar incident took place some weeks back when about 25 Fulani were said to have been killed in Bali village of Demsa Local Government Area.
Tension is rising in these areas as the Fulani are threatening retaliation should the law not take its natural cause. The Police Spokesman, Othman Mohammed, confirmed the report, adding that the team on patrol that caused the death of the two men was led by an inspector.
