The Nigerian Army is allegedly feeding President Muhammadu Buhari with the wrong information on the capaity of Islamic sect, Boko Haram to carry out deadly attacks in the North-East.
A member of the House of Representatives, Mr. Adamu Kamale, who is a member of the All Progressives Congress, that represents Michika/Madagali Federal Constituency of Adamawa State made the allegation on Monday, August 28
The two local governments, particularly Madagali, have had a fair share of attacks and abductions by the dreaded sect.
Communities in the local governments are a stone’s throw from the boundary with Sambisa Forest, the insurgents’ safe haven from where they launch attacks on their victims.
Kamale, who spoke with PUNCH, noted that while the military’s position of ‘decimating’ the insurgents sounded laudable, “the truth remains” that the group was still very active.
He disclosed that the situation in Madagali had been “grossly under-reported” in a series of security reports filed by the military to Buhari.
According to the lawmaker, no week passes without “one ugly incident or another” taking place in the border communities.
He added, “I am from this place (Madagali) and I can authoritatively tell you that my people are not safe. The military are always feeding Mr. President with the wrong information that things are normalising; it’s not true.

“We are happy that Mr. President made a reference to the Boko Haram issue in his broadcast to the nation when he returned from his medical vacation to the United Kingdom. He spoke of stepping up the war against Boko Haram and other forms of insecurity.
“However, we advise Mr. President to match the broadcast with actions because the insurgents are truly killing more people than he is even aware of, particularly in Michika/Madagali Local Government Areas of Adamawa State.
“In the past few days, over 10 lives and over 200 houses have been lost again. The security reports he gets on these two local governments are not detailed.
“The situation here is worse than the reports he gets from the military.”
