Boko Haram Massacre 21 Villagers In Adamawa

GB / 24 minutes ago

Boko Haram fighters have massacred 21 people when they raided a village in Adamawa, northeastern Nigeria and set it on fire, residents said Tuesday.

The militants, packed into four trucks and flanked by gunmen on motorbikes, swept into the village of Kuda in Adamawa State late on Monday afternoon, firing as they came.

Villagers fled the attack but returned on Tuesday to bury the dead left amid the charred wreckage of their homes, AFP reports.

“They opened fire on residents, killing 21 people,” said community leader Maina Ularamu. “They burnt several homes.”

Ularamu lost three brothers-in-law in the attack.

“Two-thirds of the village has been burnt,” said resident Paul Waramulu, speaking to AFP by telephone from the village, giving the same toll of those killed.

Waramulu said the fighters had looted food supplies before setting fire to buildings.

Many villagers were terrified and were still hiding in surrounding bush, and those who came back did so to give funerals to those killed, he added.

The village of Kuda lies in the Madagali district of Adamawa state, some 285 kilometres (177 miles) north of the state capital Yola.

There was no immediate official response from the army or police.

The attack is the latest in a long line of massacres carried out by Boko Haram in the area, who have hideouts in the dense forests nearby.

The decade-long jihadist conflict has killed tens of thousands of people and forced millions from their homes.

The violence has spread to neighbouring Niger, Chad and Cameroon, prompting a regional military coalition against the jihadists

Top 5 celebrity fights of 2018

Top 5 celebrity fights of 2018 These are the top five celebrity fights we witnessed in 2018. 2018 witnessed a decline in celebrity conflicts which is really a good thing if you look at it. However, some celebrity fights did go down and they were notable indeed. A number of these fights were one-sided as the other parties paid little or no attention to the unnecessary bants. This made it easier for these fights to actually fizzle out quickly. Here are five of them. These are the top five celebrity fights we witnessed in 2018. 1. Daddy Freeze and Samklef The very first celebrity fight of 2018 was recorded in January when Daddy Freeze and Samklef got into a heated argument » over an event that took place in the church. Samklef got tired of Daddy Freeze bashing the church. The OAP then went on to advice the music producer to ignore his messages as it is not meant for slaves. This was the beginning of what became a series of bants as these guys went on for days calling each other...
