Some residents of Michika town in Adamawa said they slept in the hills and nearby bushes during Wednesday night attack on the town by suspected insurgents.
Some of the residents told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on phone on Thursday that the attackers arrived the town around 9p.m to unleash the mayhem for about five hours.
“They burnt three banks, police station, shops and part of the Michika Local Government Council secretariat.
“They came in nine Toyota Hilux vans firing guns and throwing explosives,” a resident who simply identify himself as Fide said.
Fide said he saw corpses of two victims whose remains were recovered this morning (Feb. 27).
“One of the dead body is that of a staff of Bank of Agriculture,” Fide said.

“They burnt places of worship and the house of a former commissioner Idris Nuhu in Shuwa village,” said a resident, Mr Sule Idris.
Confirming the report, the spokesman of the 23rd Armour Brigade, Yola, Capt. Ja’afaru Nuhu, said the insurgents attacked communities in Madagali and Michika Local Government Areas.
