The Chairman of Mubi North, Alhaji Musa Bello, said he would give details of the situation later.

“There are many casualties including the dead but I cannot give you the exact figure now as we are trying to ascertain the damage,” he said.

Also confirming the incident, the Executive Secretary of Adamawa State Emergency Management Agency, Mr Haruna Furo, said his team was on its way to Mubi to assess the situation.

“I can’t tell you the casualty figure for now,” Furo said.

When contacted, the Adamawa Police Command Public Relation Office, SP Othman Abubakar, said he was yet to receive briefing on the situation.

The incident was the first in three years since the liberation of Mubi town from Boko Haram in 2014.
