Many people were feared dead on Thursday in a fresh attack by Boko Haram Islamists in Ghumbili community in the Madagali Local Government Area of Adamawa.

The attack comes a few days after a similar incident in a neighbouring village in the Local Government, known as Mildu, where seven people were killed by the insurgents.

Confirming the attack, the Chairman of Madagali Local Government Council, Yusuf Muhammed, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that the attack lasted from 11 p.m. on Wednesday to 3 a.m. on Thursday.

He said that the jihadists burnt no fewer than 60 houses and looted foodstuff.

“They looted foodstuff, killed livestock and burnt the village completely,” he stated.

Mr. Muhammed said that the exact number of dead and injured people had yet to be ascertained and that villagers who escaped the attack were currently taking refuge at Gulak, the headquarters of the council.

But the Spokesman of the Police Command in Adamawa, Othman Abubakar, who also confirmed the attack, said no life was lost.

He said, however, that houses were destroyed in the attack–the latest in a string of deadly blows on mainly soft targets in Nigeria’s troubled northeast.


Speaking on the development, the Executive Chairman of the Adamawa State Emergency Management Agency, Haruna Furo, said only one person was killed and that many houses were destroyed.

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

APC was a bad experiment, those that brought them to power can testify to that through their regrets.
As for buhari, he epitomizes failure.

Borders, borders, borders.Allso dont trust African coalition partners, cooperate with them,yes, but don't trust them, they're 's puppet. Actually trust none of them, not Britain not the Americans not any of them, cooperate as far as is beneficial but keep some secrets back and watch them to the best of your capacity.

Can't just figure out what is ahead of us in the coming months.

I see the Hands of God at work...... It's obvious Nigeria is on its way out of existence as a COUNTRY. Everything seems working to bring about the End of Nigeria.

It's time to go.

Bye Nigeria...........................!!!! See ya........!!

And more IDPs are created. If we really wanna tackle this issue,we better start applying more DRASTIC measures. F#ck Amnesty International. They can only talk. Let's borrow a leaf from how the Brits tackled the Mau Mau rebellion of the 1950s and how the Nepalese solved the Tamil Tiger insurgency. This must no longer be tackled with kid gloves or I might be forced to really think that somebody high up there is tacitly condoning it. Time to act? NOW. Desperate situations->desperate measures.

All these attacks are coming after empty threats and orders given by Buratai to get Shekau alive or dead.
All Buratai knows is to appeal to our sentiments by giving empty orders or doing push-ups for public to see.
