The Nigerian Army Tuesday morning repelled an attack by fleeing Boko Haram insurgents on Gulak village in Madagali Local Government Area of Adamawa State.
Yusuf Mohammed, the Chairman of Madagali Local Government Area, said the attack was contained by the prompt response of security operatives in the area. He commended the security agencies and local vigilantes, and sought more support to secure the area.
The spokesman for the 28 Task-Force Battalion in Mubi, Major Akintoye Badare, said the situation was under control as the attack was successfully repelled with no casualty on the military side.
Gulak community is some miles away from Chibok community in Borno State, where over 200 schoolgirls were abducted from their school’s dormitory on April 14, 2014 by the Boko Haram Insurgents.
The latest attack by the insurgents is coming about two weeks after the army dislodged insurgents from their operational base in Sambisa forest, Bornu state.
