Timawus Mathias posted The Emir of Mubi in Adamawa State, Alhaji Abubakar Isa Ahmadu, yesterday debunked media reports that he fled from his kingdom for fear of attack by members of Boko Haram. Ahmadu said he never abandoned his people and would not abandon his people in times of trouble.The emir, who spoke through the Danruwata of the Mubi Emirate Council, Chief John Babani Elias, said he left Mubi for Yola on a state assignment.The emir said he went for a meeting in Yola with a delegation as the Amirul Hajj for the 2014 Hajj operations and to make adequate preparations for pilgrims from the state. “Let me put the records straight here: the emir did not leave Mubi for Yola in order to escape from the insurgents. Rather he went for a meeting with members of the 2014 Pilgrims Delegation Committee, of which he is the leader and would return to Mubi immediately the meeting is over,” Elias said on behalf of the Emir.The emir cautioned rumour peddlers to desist from spreading information that had no basis and had created panic among the people of Mubi.He explained that there was no insurgency in Mubi and no Boko Haram casualties anywhere in Mubi North, Mubi South and Maiha Local Government Areas.Meanwhile
