Residents said the insurgents set ablaze the Katarko Primary School and the primary healthcare clinic in the village after looting drugs and food items.
Also yesterday, President Muhammadu Buhari said the rising criminality was adversely affecting his reform agenda in the mining sector. He said: “As a nation, we are currently battling various forms of security challenges and working relentlessly in providing innovative solutions to the myriads of challenges that are confronting the citizens.
“It is difficult to achieve any meaningful development in any environment plagued with security challenges. “It is also to this end that I directed the Ministers of Mines and Steel Development to strengthen collaboration with state governments and relevant security agencies to ensure the security and safety of all mining areas.
“We cannot yield the sovereignty of our nation to a bunch of individuals who have refused to see reasons to abandon their criminality.“Let me reiterate that the government is more than capable and more than ever determined to halt all forms of criminality perpetrated by these individuals.”
Sounds like what IPOB are doing to police stations in the south east.
