Atiku Demands Independent Probe Into Alleged Army Killing of Female Protesters in Adamawa

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has called for a transparent and independent investigation into allegations that soldiers from the 23 Brigade shot and killed female protesters in Lamurde, Adamawa State. The unrest stems from renewed clashes between the Bachama and Tsobo communities, which have resulted in deaths, displacement, and rising tension. While locals accuse the military of opening fire on unarmed women demonstrating over security failures, the Army has denied involvement, blaming the deaths on local militia clashes. Atiku condemned the violence, urged government intervention, and insisted that all responsible parties—civilian or military—must be held accountable.
