How Boko Haram killed 12 in Adamawa
Some armed persons suspected to be members of the Boko Haram sect on Saturday night attacked a village in Adamawa State, killing 12 people, reports Premium Times.
Maina Ularamu, a former Chairman of Madagali Local Government Area, said the insurgents attacked Dar Village in the council at about 8:30 p.m.
“A large number of gunmen invaded the village, forcing resident to flee to nearby bush,” Mr. Ularamu said in a telephone interview with the online platform.
He added that “two female suicide bombers disguised as fleeing villagers detonated explosives in the bush where many people were hiding, killing twelve persons.”
He added that many victims who sustained injuries were evacuated to the hospital by police personnel.
The spokesperson of the Adamawa Police Command, Othman Abubakar, confirmed the attack, but did not provide details.
The Boko Haram insurgency in Northern Nigeria has killed about 20,000 people; with Adamawa, Borno, and Yobe most affected.

CHAN: Eagles beat Burkina Faso 2-0
Nigeria beat a resolute Burkina Faso 2-0 in the first leg of a 2016 CHAN qualifier played in Port Harcourt on Saturday.
The return leg will be played in Ouagadougou next weekend with the overall winners advancing to the final tournament in Rwanda next year.
Bature Yaro put Nigeria in front with a clean strike from an almost acute ankle after 24 minutes.
The home-based Eagles doubled their lead in the 76th minute through a penalty taken by substitute Gbolahan Salami after Enyimba forward Ezekiel Bassey was fouled inside the box on his way to goal.
Substitute Chisom Chikatara ought to have given Nigeria a more comfortable win a minute later, but his clever chip after a defensive blunder by an opponent was misdirected.
And five minutes from time, the exciting Abia Warriors forward again threatened when he got to the end of a pass from the right, but the goalkeeper was quick enough to cuddle the effort.
Even before the opening goal, Nigeria had threatened before then as Nasarawa United midfielder Yaro, Osas Okoro and Ezekiel Bassey carved out chances.
But Burkina Faso to their credit did not sit back in their defence as they continued to chase the game.
Nigeria goalkeeper Ikechukwu Ezenwa pulled off a big save in the 32nd minute, when he beat off a swerving shot from distance.
In the second half, Les Etalons of Burkina Faso continued to chase the game and that way kept their hosts at bay for most part of this half of the encounter before the home-based Eagles got their lifeline with the penalty.
