Suspected Boko Haram insurgents had launched an attack on Dabna in July 2021 in which several people died.
A statement issued by the Police Public Relations Officer in Adamawa, Sulaiman Nguroje, condemned the attack, stating that a team of policemen had been dispatched to the area.
“The CP warns that attacks on innocent souls would no longer be tolerated under whatsoever guise as the command holds the lives of citizens sacrosanct and such unwarranted attitude would be strictly treated in accordance with extant laws,” the statement read.
