Many Feared Dead And Kidnapped As Boko Haram Strike Again In Adamawa by Orubebe01: 12:24pm On Jan 16, 2018
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.
