Many people were feared dead and others abducted on Tuesday in a fresh attack by Boko Haram insurgents on Pallam community in Madagali Local Government Area of Adamawa, local officials and residents have said.

The attack came barely a week after the terrorists launched a similar attack on neighbouring Wanu, Kamale and Kafin Hausa communities of Michika and Madagali areas.

Pallam is the hometown of the Deputy Speaker of the Adamawa State House of Assembly, Emmanuel Tsamdu.

Fleeing residents said the onslaught lasted for about five hours.

“They sneaked into our town Pallam, midnight at about 11 p.m., and started shooting sporadically, killing and burning houses. They (Boko Haram) abducted some of our people mostly men.

“I escaped by the whiskers and fled into a nearby hiding place before escaping; no soldier came to our rescue. For now I can’t tell the exact figures of the casualty. It was terrible!’’ a fleeing resident, Abamu Japhet, said.

Confirming the night attack, a member representing Madagali, Michika at the House of Representatives, Adamu Kamale, said the terrorists, ”killed even livestock, looted and burnt many houses.”

“I had a distress call that they have again launched night attack at Pallam. As I am talking to you now, the casualty figures is yet to be ascertained but they killed and abducted people and also burnt houses. Even before this attack, the terrorists had earlier ransacked Wanu, Kamale and Kafin Hausa communities. Infact, hardly a day will pass without attack, let the government wake up.

“We want President Buhari to visit us and see the horrible scenario being meted on our communities,’’ he said.

When contacted, police spokesman in the state, Othman Abubakar, said he is yet to be briefed on the development.

“I am yet to get details of the attack but I will get back to you later,” he said.

Boko Haram appears to have intensified its onslaught in recent weeks in its eight-year bloody insurgency that has claimed thousands of lives in the North-east.

This is the real change... recreation of boko haram as herdsmen

MBuhariGCFR:

Bro let's be realistic it is not well.

Naija is gradually becoming the no. 1 killing field courtesy of Fulani militia terrorists herdsmen, BH, kidnappers e.t.c and all the leaders do is politicking and blame games.

If care is not taken anarchy may overtake the country.

Those of you waiting for 2019 to vote Buhari out,I laugh.
By 2019,Buhari would have left a carcass for us all.
It's time mass protests are carried out,calling for Buhari's resignation.
A president that can be worse than Jonathan does not deserve a single more day in office!

Buhari needs to be impeached. we can't wait for 2019 again.

Honestly Nigeria is a just a funny "shi't-hole" while the shi't-hole soldiers are releasing the 244 "REPENTANT"? boko-haram members, the boko-guys are killing and bombing and abducting the shi't-hole people...


Chai what a shi't-hole....

Living in Nigeria you have to do good to people, live life as you like, have sex with sexy ladies and be ready to die any moment because what 'KILLETH' a man are many in the "Shi't-hole"

I still believe, the northern masses can solve their problems... if only they want to or continue using arms purchase and UN aids to embezzle funds..

Wike fished out don waney in 24hrs..
Imo fished out the dead kidnapper kingpin in weeks..
Lagos killed badoo in some months..
Akwaibom killed its kidnapper kingpin.

When they see Aids and funds release are no longer coming in, they would solve their issues.

not again...

After releasing 200 + yesterday

The focus has now shifted to Christian areas both by Boko and fulani herdsmen. What the hell is going on?
