Residents said some masked gunmen had stormed the communities and asked them to either leave within five days or risk a war.

A resident of Pinau, who gave his name as Ubali said the gunmen threatened to attack the area and advised them to vacate or face the consequences.

“As I speak, many people have started trooping to Pinau and other bigger towns for safety”, he decried.

However, the Spokesman of the Military Taskforce responsible for the maintenance of peace in the State code-named, Operation Safe Haven (OPSH), Major Ishaku Takwa, said, “I’m not aware of the quit notice”.
