The Sallah started on a sour note for three
villages in Adamawa State, as Boko Haram

Michika Local Government Area in a
renewed attack.
The Islamic insurgent group also destroyed
their houses and farmlands.
Among the villages attacked is Kuborshosho,
the village of former governor of the state
and Minister Youths Development, Mr. Boni
Haruna, who lost close relations, one of
whom was a 99-year-old man, who was
slaughtered by the dreaded group.
The other villages they attacked are Kubi,
Garta and others, were still under attack as
at the time of filing this report.
Saturday Sun authoritatively gathered that
many houses were razed, including the
family house of former Governor Haruna.
According to report, four of the former
minister’s uncles, aged aunties, nieces and
their siblings narrowly escaped death by the
whiskers as good Nigerians evacuated them
from the war-torn zones of Michika and its
environs to Yola, the state capital.
According to sources, the villages were
attacked on Thursday night through Friday,
and the insurgents went further to attack
those who escaped to the mountains.
As at time of filling this reports,
sympathisers, who had gathered at the
residence of the minister, condemned the
attack and appealed to the Federal
Government to expedite action towards
stopping the evil activities of the Islamic
sect.
Farmlands ready for harvest were destroyed,
while shops and warehouses belonging to the
residents, were burgled and precious items
carted away be the insurgents.
