Three communities- Sabon Gari,
Kafin Hausa and Bakin Dutse, in Madagali LGA of Adamawa state, were
reportedly under attack for three days, from Wednesday to Friday.
It is reported that over 50 houses were burnt in the attack and several farmers and herdsmen were killed.
A police officer based in Maiduguri- who’s from the area, revealed that Madagali has become a ghost town after attack.
Most of the lucky survivors have reportedly fled into the bush while
many houses are still on fire as the communities are said to be engulfed
in smoke.
“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.”
