Boko Haram destroys 500 homes, death toll unknown as military, police flee

The Islamic terrorist group in Nigeria, Boko Haram, has destroyed 500 homes in the Admawa State as the Sunni extremists attacked Kubi and Watu villages. Law enforcement and military personnel have evacuated these areas, leaving these citizens defenseless agains the onslaught.

 

“Since the complete take-over of Michika and Madagali by the insurgents on September 7, 2014, no single soldier has been noticed in the area. The only thing we see are jet fighters which come from Yola, the state capital to drop bombs and go back. Our people are helpless as the insurgents control everything in our local government,” a witness told Vanguard via telephone.

 

Citizens are hiding out as militants terrorize, murder, rape and kidnap residents, “leaving their dead bodies at the mercy of vultures and pigs.”

 

Boko Haram did attack Vimtim, the hometown of the Chief of Defence Staff, CDS, Air marshal Alex Badeh, but this area was fortified by the military.

The terrorist group made international headlines briefly after kidnapping over 240 school girls, but little aid has come to the troubled nation to erradicate these extremists.

Abubakar Shekau, the group’s leader has been reportedly killed in a firefight with military personnel. Skekau declared the group an Islamic State, seeking out a caliphate. Vanguard has more details HERE
