Again, Boko Haram Attack Adamawa Community, Kills Five

The deadly Boko Haram fighters have again attacked a community in Adamawa state killing 5 people and injuring many others.

It was learnt that the insurgents stormed Wuna village in Madagali Local Government Area of the state on Wednesday night and opened fire on innocent people.

Recall that only a few days ago, the sect killed no fewer than 50 persons in a similar attack on a Mosque in Mubi town during Morning Prayer.

Narrating the incident, sources said scores of fighters stormed the village, a few kilometres from Gulak, the administrative headquarters of Madagali.

“They came in numbers and just started shooting sporadically into the air with their guns; and there was pandemonium as people started fleeing for their lives,” a resident said.

“They held sway for almost an hour during which they killed over five people, burning houses, food stuff and carted away domestic animals. Presently, we are hiding somewhere in a nearby village,’’ the resident stated.

Another resident said: “They were on the rampage to steal food and medical supplies. Even last two days, they raided a nearby village, Humbli, and many others. There is tension everywhere and people have started fleeing.’’
