The Islamic State of West African Province (ISWAP) has threatened to attack Michika council in Adamawa State during Christmas.
The threat was contained in letters, which the terror group dropped in two major towns in the council.
Michika and Madagali councils have a history of being targeted by insurgents, it was learnt.
“Yes, threat letters were dropped in Bazza and Michika towns. The terrorists have warned of an impending attack on our communities during Christmas festivities,” a source said.
“As it is, our people have been terrified because the terrorists have earned a reputation of carrying out their threat anytime they make one.”
But while police spokesman Suleiman Nguroje said he was yet to be briefed on the matter, the commander of 23 Brigade in Yola, Aminu Garba, boasted that his brigade was ready should ISWAP carry out its threat.
“The issue of threat letters has now become a routine. Let them come and see if they will go back,” the brigade commander said.
