Boko Haram insurgents invaded Garkida, a town in Adamawa State, on Friday night and caused destruction that could not be immediately determined.
Multiple sources said the insurgents stormed the town and got residents scampering in many directions as they shot sporadically, apparently hurting many residents as they tried to flee.
The invasion must have shocked the Garkida residents who had rarely suffered the destructive activities of the Boko Haram elements since late 2014 when Gombi became one of seven local government areas in Adamawa State that Boko Haram seized in their short-lived drive to create a caliphate for themselves.
