The Adamawa State Police Command has deployed personnel and intensified security operations to curb the resurgence of attacks by suspected “Shilla Boys” in parts of the state, particularly within the capital, Yola.
The command said security deployment and operational strategies across affected communities had not been compromised, while assuring residents that adequate personnel and tactical assets were actively engaged in crime prevention, surveillance, patrols, and intelligence-led operations.
This was contained in a statement issued on Tuesday by the Police Public Relations Officer, SP Suleiman Yahaya Nguroje, and made available to journalists in Yola.
According to the statement, the command noted concerns raised in a social media publication regarding the alleged activities of the criminal group in parts of Jimeta, Yola, and neighbouring communities.
