Boko Haram
insurgents have attacked a village in Adamawa, burning down a number of houses
and looting several shops.
The incident
occurred in Kirchinga, Madagali Local Government Area of northern Adamawa,
Monday evening.
Local sources said
that the insurgents got to Kirchinga in pickup vans and motorcycles about
4:00pm on Monday and carried out their destructive acts.
The sources,
however, commended soldiers who they said responded early enough to repel them.
Commander of the
troops in Madagali, Col. U.S Abdulsalam, confirmed the attack, saying, “Yes,
there was an attack but it was repelled successfully.”
Until the Boko Haram
insurgents turned against Garkida in Gombi Local Government Area in February,
Madagali and neighbouring Michika were- the two LGAs that the insurgents had
been attacking in Adamawa State.
In most of these
attacks, the insurgents had reportedly broken into shops to steal food items
and drugs.
