In recent times, Adamawa State has witnessed a flurry of attacks by gunmen on law-abiding citizens who rob, maim and in many instances kidnap their victims for ransom.
The latest was the attack and killing of a prominent community leader Alhaji Ahmadu, 44, the Sarkin Shanu Sugu.
As a result of a spike in criminal activities, residents in many parts of the state say they sleep with both eyes open over the looming uncertainties pervading the state.
