The Senator representing Adamawa Northern Senatorial District, Sen Ishaku Elisha Abbo Cliff has commended the Nigerian Army for repelling attacks on the communities of Michika Local Government Area of the state by Boko Haram insurgents

According to the lawmaker, soldiers on a peacekeeping mission in Michika and Gulak areas of Adamawa state Northeast Nigeria repelled the attack by Boko Haram insurgents who attempted to infiltrate into the town Thursday evening

He recalled how Michika local government has been receiving incessant attacks severally by members of the dreaded Boko Haram in recent years.

The insurgents were said to have come through Kopa village area bordering Borno state and started firing into the town when soldiers who were said to be on alert repelled them from gaining entry to the town.
