The Adamawa State Government has officially announced on Friday, 14th of August that a sum of N200 million has been provided by the state to engage prayer warriors towards seeking a spiritual solution to the menace of Boko Haram in the state.
According to SaharaReporters, this was disclosed in a statement by the Chief of Staff of the state, Alhaji Abdurahman Jimeta during a media chat televised on the Adamawa State Television, which was followed by the News Agency of Nigeria in Yola.
