The source added: “They came to the town in large numbers last
night and the military responded this morning. They wanted to take over
the town, because they were even telling people to leave and threatening
to kill those who would not obey.
“More Boko Haram members wanted to gain access to Gadaka this
morning but they were unable to enter the town because it rained heavily
last night and the whole road has been taken over by flood.”
Meanwhile, Senate President, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, on Wednesday solicited
the assistance of the International Community for the on-going efforts
by the Federal Government to end the insurgency in the North-eastern part of the country and thereafter rebuild the area as well as rehabilitate the people.
