Suspected Boko Haram members have killed no fewer than six persons in
Kuda village of Madagali Local Government Area of Adamawa State.
The violent group allegedly razed down more than 20 houses in the latest attack.
It
was gathered that the extremists stormed the village at 9pm on Monday.
It was learnt that they shot at fleeing villagers, thus killing five
persons and injuring several others.
Confirming the incident, the head of Krichinga, Abubakar Kanuri,
whose village is close to Kuda village, said the insurgents came through
Malakwaya, a section of the Sambisa Forest.
He said the reports
he got was that over 30 armed insurgents stormed Kuda village. The
village head, however, said he had yet to learn the exact casualty
figure.
“But I know that one old woman was burnt to ashes because
she couldn’t flee her home when the insurgents set her house ablaze,”
Kanuri said.
Kanuri said the military in company with some
vigilante members and hunters drafted to fight the insurgents had
pursued the insurgents into Sambisa Forest.
He said, “Today, they will invade our villages as rustlers, another
day they stormed our villages in convoy of vehicles and some time they
will use cattle to deceive us that they are normal herdsmen only to
start killing people.”
“We need help in our area. Many are beginning to return but with current security situation, they may not return to these areas.
“These crazy boys are still hiding in caves inside Sambisa Forest,” he added.
To some experts , it seems Nigerian Government is clueless on how to go about the war against terrorism , extremist, and other various violent groups in the country.
