B’Haram kills nine, razes banks in Adamawa attack

Suspected insurgents of the Boko Haram Sect have again attacked some communities in Michika and Madagali Local Government Area of Adamawa State.
A security source who confided in our correspondent said that an unspecified number of people were killed in Michika with several sensitive public facilities burnt.
An unconfirmed report claimed that nine people were killed in the attack.
It was further learnt that several people were injured in the attacks while efforts were on to get more of the injured and those killed from the nearby bushes.
The source also said that the attackers arrived Michika around 9pm and operated till 3am.
The source said that the attention of a security patrol team was called to the development which led to an exchange of gunfire with the insurgents.
The scores of suspected Boko Haram Islamists who carried out the attack were armed with grenade launchers and explosives.
Residents in Michika, said people fled to the nearby foothills when the attackers dressed in military uniforms stormed the town in four-wheeled drive trucks and motorcycles.
Meanwhile, President Goodluck Jonathan on Thursday promised that his government would spare no resources in ensuring that those behind the Tuesday gruesome killing  of schoolchildren in the Federal Government College, Buni Yadi in Yobe State are brought to book.
Jonathan made the vow in his keynote address at the international conference tagged “Human Security, Peace and Defelopment: Agenda for 21st Century Africa”, held in Abuja as part of activities marking the nation’s centenary.

The President described the barbaric act as “unNigerian and unAfrican.”

He described the activities of the Boko Haram Islamists as condemnable acts of terror.
