However, people around shirori area where the terrorists killed the security operatives and civilians said they were yet to see every special movement by Nigerian troops. 

" we have not seen any aggressive Manhunt by ground soldiers or trough air strike. It is something we want to see but for now nothing of such is happening since the attack was launched on Wednesday. We just pray federal government comes to our rescue soon, "one of the locals said.

Another one said the location of the terrorists were known." i don't even know what kind of Manhunt they are talking about... The terrorists have infested most of our communities and are moving freely, giving directives to the people. The federal government wants to end this insecurity it should confront them. It is wrong to always be reactionary instead of being proactive, " he said. 

President Muhammad Buhari yesterday
