Members of Boko Haram have sacked the hometown of Adamawa State Governor, Murtala Nyako, Mayo Belwa, damaging a prison, police station and a bank.
The state police command confirmed the Thursday night attacks but made no statement on the casualty figure.
This is coming a week after a clash between the Joint Task Force in the North and Boko Haram militants left 187 people dead.
Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Ibrahim Mohammed, confirmed the incident. He, however, could not provide details.
Since the April 19 clash between the JTF and Boko Haram in Baga, Borno State, at least nine policemen have been killed in separate attacks in Borno and Yobe states.

The Commissioner of Police in Yobe State, Sanusi Rufai, said five policemen were killed during an alleged attack by Boko Haram terrorists in Gashua on Thursday, while four other policemen were killed in Bama, a border town in Borno State, the same day.
As at press time, only scanty details of the Adamawa attacks had emerged.
Despite the amnesty plans for Boko Haram, for which the Federal Government has established a controversial committee, attacks in northern Nigeria continue.
The JTF in Yobe had on Thursday introduced an extended curfew in Gashua.
The spokesperson for the task force, Lt. Eli Lazarus, said at the time that the curfew would be between 6 am and 1 pm.
Lazarus said the curfew was to enable the JTF to continue with its ongoing cordon-and-search operation following the attack in which the policemen were killed.
The Northern State Governors Forum on Friday described the death of the policemen as a great national loss, referring to them as heroes who died in the course of service to their fatherland.
The governors expressed serious concern at the recent attacks, appealing to the Boko Haram sect to give peace a chance.
Chairman of the forum and Governor of Niger State, Babangida Aliyu, said in a statement signed by his spokesperson, Danladi Ndayebo, “The renewed violence in Borno and Yobe states negates all efforts to restore peace to this region.”

It is only natural that what a man sows shall he reap, some of the policicians trained, brought these lions to dwell in the midst of human beings. Now they are devouring human being and the trainers and godfathers are crying wolf. Hey! shut up your mouths and watch the film in horror as it lasts. You have not seen anything yet, the next chapter or scenario would be that the Lions and tigers tagged Boko Haram guys will turn to their sponsor and devour them.
ReplyDeleteLet their godfathers run to their mosques to ask for forgiveness from Allah for their blood of the mytyrs will continue to hunt them and God will cause the hearts of the Boko Haram guys to turn against their sponsors and will fight them to their last number on the planet Earth.
When God is fighting you, who will deliver you, but the God of the Christian is more than able and will continue to deliver His own and when He choses to allow them come back home, He is never a loser. Only let all His children live their live as if they will die the next minute. Then, death will be diminished to nothingness.
