A statement signed by Ephraim, the council chairman, Francis A. Sani, described the incident as “unprovoked killings of innocent and peaceful people”.
The chairman lamented the inability of security agencies to make a single arrest or bring perpetrators to justice after several attacks.
The statement also said the residents of the community accused the security agencies of collusion in the series of attacks on their communities.
“Hence, they requested the removal of soldiers who have not been able to offer any protection against these deadly attacks despite being stationed few yards from the scenes of attacks,” the statement added.
