Boko Haram insurgents razed more than 20
houses in the attack.
Suspected members of the Boko Haram sect
have attacked Kuda village of Madagali local
government area of Adamawa state.
The terrorists killed at least 6 people and razed
more than 20 houses in the attack. An elderly
woman was also reportedly burnt to ashes in
the raging inferno.
The Punch reports that the insurgents invaded
the village at 9pm on Monday, February 15,
when the villagers were preparing to go to bed.
They shot at fleeing villagers, killing five people
and injuring several others.
Eyewitnesses said that the heavily armed
insurgents invaded the village on foot and
carted away some valuables.
Abubakar Kanuri, the head of Krichinga, whose
village is close to Kuda village, confirmed the
incident and revealed that the insurgents came
through Malakwaya, a section of the Sambisa
forest.

The village head said that 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,” he said.
Kanuri said that scared people in the affected
communities had fled to Gulak town and other
places to seek refuge.
According to him, the security situation in the
area has worsened because the insurgents
adopted different styles.
“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.”
“Thes crazy boys are still hiding in caves inside
Sambisa forest,” he added.

One of the villagers, who gave his name as
Usman, said that he was trying to recover from
the terrorists’ attack unleashed on them last
year, when he lost his property again to a
similar inferno to that which happened on
Monday. He stressed that it was time to hunt
for the insurgents but not to wait for another
attack.
“The best thing is to follow them to their
hidings than allow them to continue to kill
innocent Nigerians,” he added.
Meanwhile, the Nigerian army has intensified
its efforts in the war against the deadly Boko
Haram sect.
