The discovery of the corpses instilled fear in the minds of the residents, some of whom had started fleeing their homes.
One of the residents, Isa Audu, said that they heard gun shots at about 4 a.m. that day, only to wake up to see the dead bodies lined up on the street.
"We heard gun shots and later in the morning, we saw dead bodies in the neighbourhood.
"The bodies were arranged in single file, with some of them in under-wear shorts and vests", said Audu, himself looking terrified.
He added that the discovery had forced some families to flee the area for fear of what might likely occur as a result of the incident.
The Adamawa State Police Commissioner, Mr Aderene Shinaba, confirmed the killings, adding that investigation into the matter had commenced.
Shinaba said that the corpses had been deposited at the General Hospital, Mubi, and called on residents not to panic as the command would do everything possible to safeguard lives and property. So far there authorities have not been able to figure out who or what might have been responsible for the attack.
