Boko Haram Attack Claims Four Lives in Adamawa Community

At least four people have been confirmed dead following a deadly attack by suspected Boko Haram insurgents on Wagga Mongoro community in Madagali Local Government Area of Adamawa State.

According to local residents, the insurgents stormed the village in the early hours of Wednesday, September 24, launching a coordinated assault that left several homes destroyed and forced dozens of families to flee into surrounding areas.

Eyewitnesses say the attackers arrived in large numbers, overwhelming the local community before security reinforcements could arrive.

“They came heavily armed and started shooting. People ran for their lives. By the time help came, it was too late,” a resident told TVC News under anonymity.

At the time of filing this report, the military and other security agencies had not yet issued an official statement regarding the attack.

Madagali, located near the border with Borno State, remains a hotspot for insurgent activity. The region has been repeatedly targeted in recent years due to its proximity to areas known to harbor Boko Haram and Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) fighters.

Local authorities have called for increased military presence and enhanced surveillance in the region to prevent further attacks.
