Boko Haram invasion of Mubi: Jonathan not worthy of being Commander-in- Chief – Atiku By Daily Post Staff on November 1, 2014 @dailypostngr You might also like Send your press release/articles to: [email protected] Follow @DailyPostNGR on Twitter and on Facebook READ: Latest Breaking News READ: Latest Celebrity News, Gossip Atiku Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar has condemned the recent Boko Haram take-over of Mubi and the hoisting of their flag in Adamawa State’s second largest town, as a tragic act and a worrisome affront to the corporate integrity of Nigeria. Mr. Abubakar, who was abroad when the attack took place in his home State on Wednesday, 29th October, told a group of journalists on arrival on Friday that: “with what I have gathered so far from online news reports and other sources from Mubi town, the situation is very unfortunate and undermining for our country.” “If the reports are true that the Armed Forces had abandoned their assigned duty posts a few days before the overrun, it was an indication that the attack was not sudden after all. If the Soldiers also left behind their ammunition and armoured carriers at the mercy of predatory insurgents, it raises a question of complicity in the sordid episode,” he said. He described as most unfortunate a situation where unsuspecting civilians who had relied on security agencies for their protection and were expecting an improvement in their security status as a result of the announced Ceasefire, were suddenly left defenceless and at the mercy of the marauders. Mr. Abubakar frowned at the suspected connivance that might have fuelled the sudden retreat of the military in the face of imminent invasion of a vital commercial town, less than three hours away from Yola the Adamawa State capital. “No Commander-in-Chief or General that is worth his salt will surrender his territory with folded arms and running heels”, Mr. Abubakar said. “On every occasion that leaders from the North East raised an alarm about the dangerous trend, we have either been ignored or called names”, he recalled.
