People from Bahamas and Batas communities have frequently protested attacks by suspected herdsmen and called for urgent intervention by government and security agencies. The protesting villagers took 3 recovered dead bodies to the palace of the district head of Girei, Dr Ahmed Ibrahim chanting war songs. They cried out that 'enough is enough', threatening not to tolerate any more atrocities and carnage from the invading herdsmen. The protesting communities marched out to the Adamawa State Police Command Headquarters to complain.
On receiving the protesters, Adamawa Police image maker, Othman Abubakar promised that the command in conjunction with other security agencies would ensure peace returned to the area.
