Boko Haram Burn Down Two Adamawa Communities, Many Killed by Kazim88: 8:53am On Aug 16, 2017
YOLA – Suspected members of Boko Haram, Monday night, attacked two Adamawa communities, burning houses and looting foodstuff.

Residents fled as the terrorists attacked Nyibango and Muduhu, both in Madagali Local Government Area of Adamawa State. The attacks come a few days after a similar incident in a neighbouring Mildu village in the same local government.

About seven people were killed in the Mildu attack. Boko Haram member This came as the Nigerian Army, yesterday, inaugurated a special mobile strike force in a renewed onslaught against Boko Haram insurgents in the North-East.

Speaking on the attacks, the Chairman of Madagali Local Government Area, Yusuf Muhammed, said the attack lasted for nearly two hours, with the jihadists burning many houses and looting foodstuff.

According to him, “they looted foodstuff, killed livestock and burnt the villages completely, including churches and the residence of one councillor, John Hammajam.”

Muhammed said the exact number of the dead and injured was yet to be ascertained and that villagers who escaped the attack fled the area. A fleeing resident, Hamma Adamu, also said the terrorists shot sporadically and razed houses and places of worships.

He said the insurgents invaded the village when residents were preparing to go to bed. Also speaking, the lawmaker representing Madagali/Michika Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Adamu Kamale, also said that Madagali Local Government Area was the worst affected by insurgency in the state.
