Boko Haram Attacks Madagali, Kills 6, Burn Down Houses

Boko Haram terrorists have killed no less than
six persons in Kuda village of Madagali Local
Government Area of Adamawa State.
They also razed down more than 20 houses in
the latest attack.
The violent extremists stormed the village at
9pm on Monday, shooting at fleeing villagers,
thus killing five persons and injuring several
others.
The head of Krichinga, Abubakar Kanuri, whose
village is close to Kuda village, said the
insurgents came through Malakwaya, a section
of the Sambisa Forest.
He said the reports he got was that over 30
armed insurgents stormed Kuda village. The
village head, however, said he had yet to learn
the exact casualty figure.
“But I know that one old woman was burnt to
ashes because she couldn’t flee her home when
the insurgents set her house ablaze,”
“Today, they will invade our villages as rustlers,
another day they stormed our villages in convoy
of vehicles and some time they will use cattle to
deceive us that they are normal herdsmen only
to start killing people.”
“We need help in our area. Many are beginning
to return but with current security situation, they
may not return to these areas.
“These crazy boys are still hiding in caves inside
Sambisa Forest”, Kanuri said.
Kanuri said the military in company with some
local vigilante members and hunters drafted to
fight the insurgents pursued the insurgents into
Sambisa Forest.
