The hometown of Adamawa State Governor, Ahmadu Fintiri, Madagali Local Government Area, has again come under attack, marking the fourth assault in five months.
Madagali was previously attacked on October 1, 2025; November 19, 2025; December 8, 2025; and most recently on February 24, 2026.
The latest attack reportedly claimed dozens of lives, according to various local sources.
Mr Mohammed Yusuf, from Kirchinga—the governor’s village—told our correspondent in a phone conversation on Thursday, that suspected Boko Haram insurgents invaded the village around midnight on Tuesday, killing several people.
“Nobody can give you the correct figure of the dead now, because many people ran into the bush, and we are yet to account for others from this village,” he said.
Another source suggested that the attackers operated in a coordinated manner, indicating possible insider assistance.
“They were calling people by their names to come out or be burned inside their houses. This implies there were insiders among the attackers who invaded our village,” he stated.
Local sources provided varying casualty figures, but the police have yet to release an official number.
When contacted, the Adamawa State Police Command spokesman, SP Suleiman Nguroje, said authorities are still gathering information on the total casualties.
“I am still making contact to get the correct figure of the casualties; just give me a little time,” he said.
