Seven killed in fresh Boko Haram attacks



Seven people have been killed by Boko Haram gunmen in a raid in northeast Nigeria, in an attack targeting remote communities. This was disclosed to the AFP by a local official and police on Tuesday.

The fresh attack happened on Sunday evening in Madagali, in the north of Adamawa state.

Maina Ularamu, former Chairman of Madagali local government area, said: “They killed seven people and burnt 10 houses. We are calling on the security agencies to flush out the insurgents because they use the bush as their operational base from where they attack Madagali and its environs.”

Adamawa police spokesman Abubakar Othman confirmed Ularamu’s account and said two people were injured.
