B’Haram torches 60 houses in Adamawa villages

Fleeing members of the Boko Haram sect have destroyed over 60 houses in three villages in Adamawa State, a local hunter told our correspondent on the telephone on Sunday.

He gave the names of the three villages as Sabon Gari, Kafin Hausa and Dutse Biyu in Madagali Local Government Area of Adamawa State.
He explained that the insurgents, who were fleeing from soldiers from their enclaves in Borno State, ransacked the villages, took away foodstuffs and other valuables and destroyed over 60 houses.
Madagali Local Government Area shares boundaries with Gwoza Local Government Area of Borno State, which was one of the strongholds of the Boko Haram insurgents.
The local hunter, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the insurgents might have been attracted to Madagali area because of its mountainous landscape which could shield them from the aerial and land attacks by the troops.
