Malik Yahya/

Suspected bandits have killed two policemen and kidnapped seven persons in Gyala, Mubi South Local Government Area of Adamawa State.

Chairman of the local government, Ahmadu Dahiru, disclosed this today in Gyala.

He appealed to the Nigerian Government to rise to the challenge of kidnapping and banditry around communities sharing common border with Cameroon.

Gyala is five kilometres from Cameroon.

He said: “Five people were kidnapped in Kwaja, while two others were picked in Sahuda all in the preceding week.

“Worst still, last Tuesday, two policemen were killed in Gyala.

“They (kidnappers) are hiding on top of these hills from where they launch attacks at will.

“We’re therefore pleading with the government to intervene and save our people from kidnappers.”
