The alleged extension of violent attack by the Islamic terrorist group, Boko Haram, to traditional institutions has sent fears into the spines of district heads in three states under the emergency rule.

A security source said the district heads may soon go into hiding following the killing of some of their colleagues in the last three weeks by the terrorist group.

It was learnt that the district heads took the decision to avoid being killed by the terrorists who appeared to have defiled all efforts by security agents to protect lives and property in the three states of Borno, Yobe and Adamawa.

It was learnt that no fewer than 20 suspected Boko Haram gunmen stormed Gumsa village on Monday afternoon and whisked Khadi away in a Hilux Toyota van seen in his palace.

The source said that the recent killing of the Emir of Gwoza in Borno State, Alhaji IdrisaTimta, further heightened the district heads’ fear that the terrorists might hound them.
