Suspected Boko Haram terrorists have allegedly raided a
farming village in Adamawa State, killing six members of a local vigilante
group in the process.
The rampaging terrorists reportedly stormed Aljannaru, a
village between Adamawa and Borno states on Sunday morning.
A local, David Yaro, told SaharaReporters that, "They
arrived before dawn riding camels, with herds of cows destroying farms. They
then climbed a hill overlooking the village and opened fire sporadically,
before carrying out house-to-house attacks. They killed six persons assisting
with security."
A security source
also told SaharaReporters that the gunmen wielded sophisticated weapons
including AK 47 riffles during the attack. Modibbo Tola, a senior member of the
hunters group in the state, confirmed the killing of their members, saying;
‘’Yes, I can confirm to you that we lost six members during
the attack by the gunmen riding on camels.
While we mourn our members including a top official in Gombi
Unit, we will continue to help our people by providing security."
