"The Nigerian security agents ran away for their lives leaving us to face Boko Haram by ourselves. I would not be surprised if the number of dead people exceed 200".

The Executive Chairman of Madagali local government area, Mr. James Abawu Watharda confirmed the attack. He said that Boko Haram invaded the many communities in his LGA. He explained that the level of sophistry of the group has reached an alarming level, in the manner they brazenly move into communities with high powered weapons to overpower Nigerian security operatives and hoisting their flags.

It was also learnt that the Jihadist group moved into the communities with the AK47 at full blast, shooting at everything in their way and burning down every strucure. Unlike their other attacks, eyewitnesses indicated that their numbers were very large.

"They attacked from different locations an hoisted their flags at every high point. Many people were shot."
