How we fled before Boko Haram arrived – Nyako

Contrary to earlier reports, the Adamawa State Governor, Alhaji Murtala Nyako, has denied that his convoy was attacked in Shuwa area of the state.
Nyako, in a bid to set the records straight, said he was told of an impending attack by suspected members of Boko Haram by soldiers who were fleeing from members of the sect.
He said they fled before the members of the sect arrived.
Speaking in Yola on Friday, Nyako, who was in Shuwa to commiserate with the victims of the recent attack by members of Boko Haram, said: “After addressing the villagers, some soldiers approached me as I was about to enter my car and said that Boko Haram members were coming.
“The soldiers were shouting: they are here, they are here.
“So, I asked them: who?
“They said Boko Haram members are around.
“After that, one of the soldiers started shooting.
“So, the first thing we need to do naturally is to get out of the scene.”
Four shots were fired by the soldier, prompting the security personnel to take position, while others drove off with the governor.
NAN reports that the villagers also ran to different directions for safety.
On the entourage of the governor were the Speaker of the state House of Assembly, Hon. Ahmadu Fintiri; the Commissioner of Police, John Abakasangha; the Secretary to the State Government, Chief Kobis Thimnu; and some commissioners.
