Six military commanders, including an
injured Lieutenant Colonel, have been arrested by the military for
withdrawing from Mararaba, Michika, Madagali, Mubi and later Vimtim when
Boko Haram insurgents attacked the communities last week.
It
was learnt that an unspecified number of soldiers were also in
detention for allegedly abandoning the communities, thereby making easy
for the insurgents to have an upper hand.
A
reliable military source, who made this known in Abuja on Sunday said
the movement of five of the commanders had been restricted to the
officers mess in a military formation.
The
source, who did not name the military formation, because of security
reason, added that “one of them, a Leutenant Colonel is receiving
treatment at the MRS in Yola for serious injuries he sustained when
the car in which he was escaping with somersaulted several times.”
He said the injured officer would join his colleagues in the officers mess on recovery.
Our
source said, “Today (Sunday), the military authorities arrested five
commanders around the Mubi axis of Adamawa State. The sixth is a Lt.
Col.
