Suspected members of dreaded Boko Haram terrorists invaded three communities of
Sabon Gari, Kafin Hausa and Bakin Dutse of Madagali Local Government Area of
Adamawa State, leaving scores of people mostly returning farmers and herdsmen
dead after setting ablaze their residential houses. The attacks were said to have
lasted for three days and over 50 houses burnt.
Madagali is the council
headquarters of Gulak, a town
bordering Borno State which
had suffered series of deadly
boko Haram attacks that led
to the sacking of the whole
people of the area.
According to a unanimous
police officer from the area but
who is based in Maiduguri, “Our family house was one of those destroyed by the
terrorists, but when some people alerted the security operatives stationed in Gulak
and Madagali, there was no response until the whole place was destroyed by the
insurgents.
“My distressed people called me about the deadly attacks that lasted for three days
beginning from Wednesday, but no positive response until the whole villages were
destroyed; many of our people might have been killed, but fortunately, after they
returned to the troubled communities, they chose to spend their whole day and night
in their farmlands for safety.”
He added that the town is now deserted as most of the lucky survivors have fled into
the bush while many houses are still on fire and that thick smoke still engulf the
whole communities.
