Despite the state of emergency declared in Adamawa State, a government official on Monday confirmed that about 20 people were on Sunday slaughtered in Waga village by members of the radical Islamist sect, Boko Haram.

A resident, who gave his name as Ahmed Soji, said the assailants believed to be sect members were heavily armed when they attacked the christian dominated village.  

"The gunmen believed to be Boko Haram insurgents in trucks and on motorcycles attacked the village where they killed 20 people and burnt several houses" he said. "The whereabouts of several other people are still unknown but it is assumed they fled into the bush to escape the attack and are yet to return". 

Soji disclosed that the sect members also launched an attack on Gublak, a neighbouring village but were repelled by soldiers who were on ground in the area.

It would be recalled that the federal government recently imposed emergency rule on three troubled northeastern states - Adamawa, Borno and Yobe.

Meanwhile, among these three states, Adamawa state has witnessed series of dealy attacks from the sect members. In February, it was reported that about 34 people were slain, several houses were razed during the coordinated bombing and shooting assault on Shuwa, Kirchiga and Michika, a border town with Borno State.

The sect members are also responsible for the kidnap of over 234 female students from Government Girls Secondary School, Chibok Borno State. They repeatedly attack vulnerable villages, burning houses, killing residents and looting food from their helpless victims.
