Mubi is one of the largest communities in Adamawa State with two local government areas which are Mubi North and Mubi South.
It is however one of the worst hit communities in the state by insurgency.
In 2024, attacks by Boko Haram terrorists led to hundreds being killed, including students while thousands fled their homes, and many are still missing.
The peaceful rally adds to growing calls from religious leaders, civil society groups, and concerned citizens for stronger measures to address insecurity and protect vulnerable communities across the country.
