Nigeria: Boko Haram attack kills 6 people
A group of Boko Haram gunmen killed six people in northeast Nigeria on Wednesday, a government spokesperson said, as the country works to ramp up its fight against the jihadists.
The militants stormed Mildu village near the town of Madagali in the far north of Adamawa state, which has been repeatedly targeted by the Islamists.
“The Boko Haram gunmen killed six people and injured three in the attack on the village around 0100 GMT,” Adamawa state information commissioner Ahmad Sajo told AFP.
“The attackers came in large numbers and the security personnel in the area aided by reinforcements engaged them in gunfight,” Sajo said.
