POLITICS NIGERIA reports that the attack occurred around 9 pm on Sunday, according to Nuhu Bitrus, the spokesman for the Miango Youths Development Association. Mr. Bitrus said the attack forced the community to cancel its activities earlier planned for the celebration of Nigeria’s 63rd anniversary and instead turn the event into a day of mourning and prayer for the safety of the people.We are not happy that we are today mourning the death of nine of our people in Adu village who were killed last night in an attack,”It is unfortunate that while others are celebrating Nigeria’s 63rd independence, we are gathering in Kwal to bury our people.
