YOBE STATE GOVERNMENT DONATES N30M TO FAMILIES OF SLAIN PERSONS IN MAFA                                                                             04-09-24

By Sadiq Aminu                                                                     Yobe State Government has announced the donation of N30 million to the families of the victims of insurgent attack in Mafa, Tarmuwa Local Government.

The State Governor Mai Mala Buni, made the announcement when he led a delegation to Babban-gida, the headquarters of Tarmuwa, for the funeral of 34 slain persons.

While sympathizing with the Emir of Jajere, Alhaji Mai Buba Mashio, and the people of the area over the dastardly deeds, the governor directed the State Emergency Management Agency, SEMA, to provide the needed assistance to the displaced persons who lost all their belongings as a result of the attack.

The Governor represented by his deputy Idi Barde Gubana explained that the State government was utterly devastated by the killings, and had visited the Chief of Defence Staff, Gen. Christopher Musa, over sustainable security in Mafa.

Mr Gubana noted that deployment of sufficient troops in Mafa, located at the border of Borno and Yobe- would prevent future attacks in the trade hub.

Commenting on the attack, the Special Adviser on Security Matters, Brig. Gen. Dahiru Abdulsalam (rtd), debunked the claims that more than 34 people died in the attack.

“the figure is 34 people that were found dead, while 5 persons sustained injuries.

”Four are in critical conditions, while the other, sustained a minor injury and he is in stable condition.

” The insurgents are not confronting the military; they are confronting innocent civilians who are soft targets,” he said.

Suspected Boko Haram insurgents attacked Mafa on Sunday, killing 34 residents and burned down shops and houses in the village.
