The Adamawa State government says it is making sure that the survivors of Sunday’s terrorist attacks are taken care of.

The Commissioner for Information, Mr Ahmad Sajoh, made this declaration while speaking about the deadly attacks on some villages in Girei Local Government Area of Adamawa State in northeast Nigeria.

According to the Commissioner, while government is saddened by the development, it wants the people of the state to allow the Police to conduct their investigation instead of speculating.

He said that the government is trying its best possible to find a solution to the present situation but this requires a lot of diplomacy.

“This things require a lot of tact and diplomacy and we are doing that because whenever there is an aggression, there are people who also are aggrieved and something must be done to placate their grieve and that is what the government is doing right now.

“We understand that there are some displaced people’s (IDP) camps in places like Boro, we have dispatched a team of our own humanitarian agency to go and check what is going on,” he said.

While expressing grief over the attacks, Mr Sajoh said that there were chances that it could be the result of a communal clash.

He maintained that the Adamawa State government would wait for the report of investigations and findings by the security agencies before taking further steps.

“We are not deciding on anything for now. We are waiting for security agencies to give us the exact report on their investigations and their findings,” he said.
