Troops Battle Boko Haram Terrorists In Adamawa Community

Troops of the Nigerian Army have reportedly engaged Boko Haram terrorists in a gun battle in Sabon Gari village, Adamawa State.

The village, located between Gulak and Madagali town in the state, came under attack today (Wednesday) evening, according to the Chairman of Madagali Local Government Area, Mohammed Yusuf.

Wednesday’s attack is one of several carried out by the terrorists in recent weeks, particularly around Gulak and Madagali.
On November 6, it was Gulak, the headquarters of Madagali LGA that came under attack by Boko Haram terrorists.
During that attack, the Adamawa State Commissioner of Information and Strategy, Ahmad Sajoh, told Channels Television that the fierce battle between the terrorists and the military caused many residents fleeing for their lives.
According to him, the vigilance group in the town and the hunters association are assisting the military in a bid to repel the attack and gunshots can be heard all over.

That attack came barely 24 hours after two male suicide bombers entered the home of a family in Tsilah village near Madagali and held a woman and her daughter hostage.
Thereafter, they detonated the explosives strapped to their bodies killing both of them, the woman and her baby in the process.

Late October, two female suicide bombers attacked Dar, a village near Gulak.
The first of the two attackers detonated the improvised device strapped to her body around 8 pm on Saturday, October 28, while the second did the same around 7 am on Sunday, October 29.
A woman with an eight-month-old baby strapped to her back was hit by the second attack (on October 29) and lost an eye, while her baby sustained minor injuries in that attack, which is believed to have been targeted at a church.
