As Boko Haram Strikes In Adamawa Again: 45 Girls
Abducted In Madagali LG
Boko Haram insurgents have launched an attack on Waga
Mongoro village where they abducted about 45 girls, local
sources have disclosed.
Waga Mongoro village is sandwiched between Gwoza
town of Borno State and Madagali town of Adamawa
State.
The recent attack on seems to have sealed any hope of
cessation of hostilities in the area despite an earlier
ceasefire agreement reportedly entered into by the
insurgents and federal government.
Sources in the area said the insurgents similarly burnt
down the whole town after they carried off food items,
animals and household utensils belonging to the
residents.
Many of the residents who managed to escape the attack
and run into the nearby bushes have refused to return to
the town for fear of another attack by the insurgents.
A resident, who said he was speaking from hiding in a
nearby bush, told LEADERSHIP that he was better off
remaining in the bush than trying to go back to the
village as most of their houses had been totally destroyed
by the insurgents while their foodstuff, livestock and
other belongings had been carried off by the rampaging
insurgents, who might return to do more damage.
He said the insurgents stormed the town early Tuesday
morning through the road leading to Sambisa Forest and
returned through the same route after the onslaught.
“When they came into the town, they rounded up about
45 girls and uploaded them into some trucks they came
with. They also carried off foodstuff, household items and
domestic animals before razing our houses,” he said.
Another displaced person from the area, who is currently
taking refuge in Yola, the state capital, told LEADERSHIP
that a relative of his, who is currently trapped in the
bush, told him that he heard the insurgents disowning
the ceasefire agreement the sect reportedly reached with
the federal government, adding that the insurgents were
insistent on foisting Sharia law on Nigerians.
“When they struck, we heard them chanting anti-
government slogans to the effect that they were not
party to any ceasefire agreement and that the
government was on a mission to deceive the people,” my
trapped relative told me.
When contacted via phone, the chairman of Madagali
Local Government of Adamawa State, James Abawu
Watharda, said he could neither confirm nor deny the
report as he had since lost contact with the people of the
area, adding that the areas had been deserted by the
people for a long time.
