Many people were feared dead, on Thursday, in a fresh attack by Boko Haram Islamists in Ghumbili community in the Madagali Local Government Area of Adamawa State.<\/p>\n

The attack comes a few days after a similar incident in a neighbouring village in the Local Government, known as Mildu, where seven people were killed by the insurgents.<\/p>\n

Confirming the attack, the Chairman of Madagali Local Government Council, Mr Yusuf Muhammed, said that the attack lasted from 11 p.m. on Wednesday to 3 a.m. on Thursday.<\/p>\n
