Scores of persons were feared killed when suspected Boko Haram terrorists attacked Dabna, a community in Adamawa State, in the early hours of yesterday.
Dabna is a village close to Garaha, the home district of Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Boss Mustapha.
Sources in the area said the suspected Boko Haram terrorists stormed the community in the early hours of Wednesday, destroying human lives and valuable properties.
A report said 18 dead bodies were found in bushes around the affected community, but this could not be confirmed.
The report said the attack came roughly two months after a similar attack on Kwapre, a neighbouring community, where the terrorists killed 11 residents, abducted 52 others, as well as destroyed 78 houses, 12 shops and four church buildings.
Neither the military nor the police could be reached to comment on the latest attack as in previous ones.
Such is the case with suspected Boko Haram attacks in Adamawa State where the military sources with jurisdiction shy away from comments and where the police would disown responsibility for anything to do with Boko Haram.
