Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, has raised the alarm over the
importation of mercenaries into the state, whose job he
alleged, was to either kill or kidnap members of the
legislature following the impeachment move against
Governor Murtala Nyako and his deputy, Barrister Bala
Ngilari.
The speaker raised the alarm in a statement signed by his chief press secretary, Solomon Kumanga, yesterday in Yola, the
state capital.
Kumangar said as a result of threats against members of
the House of Assembly, each member was attached a
security detail.
"Some people who are not happy with what is going on
in the state have brought in mercenaries to either kill or
abduct our members; as such, each member was
attached a security detail to safeguard him.
"We have it on good authority that those mercenaries
have been given the photographs of all our members for
them to carry out their nefarious activities".
The speaker also denied knowledge of the two-day
public holiday declared by the state government, saying
the House of Assembly would continue its legislative
activities unperturbed.
We had earlier reported that Gov. Nyako declared today,
Monday 7th and Tuesday, 8th July, work-free days to
according to him, "reflect on the current happenings in
the country and to use the period to offer special prayers
for peace in the country".
