18 Mourners Killed In Adamawa By Boko Haram

Boko Haram Terrorists on Thursday night killed 18 women and left several injured in Kuda-Kaya village in Madagali local council of Adamawa state.Witnesses said the insurgents, who stormed the village around 10:00 p.m., took the mourners unawares, killing mostly elderly women who could not run for their lives.
The attackers came in hundreds and opened fire on the mourners, noting that men were able to escape with gun-shot wounds, Mr. Bello Ichadi the district head of Gulak reported.
Member representing Madagali constituency in Adamawa State House of Assembly, Mr. Emmanuel Tsamdu, lamented the incident but said he has not confirmed the number of casualties.
“I was called today this morning from my hometown that there was an attack on Thursday night, but I am yet to get the details on how it happened and the real number of people killed during the attack. It is disheartening to see this kind of attack particularly now that the military is winning the battle against insurgency in the country,” Tsamdu stated.

"The attack lasted about an hour.  Men and the younger women ran for safety. Three hours after the attack, we, the men, mobilised ourselves and entered the house. We counted 18 dead bodies of elderly women. But some women are still missing. Everybody has left the village; only hunters are in the place now,” An eye witness,Moses Kwagh said.
He further stated that;
 “When we said that Boko Haram is still in this place, some people sat in Abuja and claimed that there is no more Boko Haram. But see what has happened. We cannot go to our farms for the fear that Boko Haram might kill us.”
Spokesman of Adamawa State Police Command, Uthman Abubakar, an Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP), disclosed that a wanted Boko Haram commander in Gombi Local Council of the state has been arrested.He said the suspected commander was trailed after being sighted at a security checkpoint.
“The suspect was arrested at a bank after curiously asking another customer to help him make withdrawal from an ATM in what police believed was an attempt to avoid bank security cameras,” he added.Abubakar said the suspect was being interrogated at the Command’s Criminal Investigations Department (CID).
