Ahmed claimed that the attackers were all dressed in military uniform and spoke English language which was a departure from the Hausa and Kanuri language spoken by the Boko Haram insurgents.
The senator even lamented that the military post in Gamboru when it received a distress call from the people of Kala Balge avoided the town, claiming that it was not under its area of command.
He said he was compelled to speak out because his people were being killed on a daily basis and felt obliged to raise his voice, stressing that what was happening in Borno was beyond understanding.
"It is a must for me to speak since peoples' lives are involved and they are my people. All these are happening in my constituency and it will be wrong to keep quiet. I feel so much pained and would have not love to speak but definitely my conscience will not let me do that", he lamented.
According to him, 210 people were slaughtered by the marauders who dressed in military uniform and attacked the towns in two armoured personnel cars and seven double cabin pickups.
He said they attacked a Teachers College in Dikwa and killed seven people, burnt down the school library and administrative block.
He claimed that Kala Balge was the worst hit, where 60 people were killed by the armed men who went on rampage killing everything in sight.
He said after they left Kala Balge, they went berserk and attacked three other towns in the area where a total of 150 persons were killed.
