BOKO HARAM INVADE ADAMAWA STATE


    Reports got to us earlier today that the dreaded Boko Haram sect attacked the Kubla community in Madagali local government, Adamawa state. According to Sahara reporters:
...members of the extremist Islamist sect, Boko Haram, had launched several attacks in Kubla, Madagali local government area of Adamawa State. The attacks began last night and lasted till this morning, our security operative said. Kubla, the scene of the attacks, borders Borno State, another of the three northeast Nigerian states where the insurgent group remains most active.
Our source said the heavily armed militants arrived in Kubla and started burning houses and stealing foodstuff, until a contingent of the military was mobilized and deployed to confront them.
The soldiers engaged the militants in a fierce exchange of gunfire overnight.
Our source said he was in no position yet to provide details about the level of casualty on the part of the soldiers as well as the militants.
In a similar development, another Boko Haram cell last night carried out an attack in the Wukari area of Taraba State. Security agents were yet to release any details regarding the attack.
  This attack was confirmed from a military source and will be one of the few attacks to be launched in the state this year alongside the states of the Northeast.
