Boko Haram Storms Adamawa Community, Kidnaps Eight Family Members Including Newborn
Suspected Boko Haram militants have kidnapped eight members of one family, including a one-month-old baby, following a midnight attack on Palam community in Madagali Local Government Area of Adamawa State.
A relative who escaped the assault told SaharaReporters that the gunmen struck around 2am on Sunday, firing shots as they forced their way into the family’s compound and abducted the victims.
The source said the attackers were searching for the family head, Bitrus Kwavanza, who was reportedly away on a business trip in a nearby community when the raid took place.
“They came asking for my uncle. When they couldn’t find him, they took his family instead,” the source said.
Palam is located in Madagali Local Government Area, the home LGA of Adamawa State Governor, Umaru Fintiri, underscoring renewed concerns over the worsening security situation even in politically sensitive areas of the state.
On January 20, suspected Boko Haram fighters attacked Kirchinga, Governor Fintiri’s hometown, killing two forest guards and abducting another, in what residents described as a brazen show of insurgent resurgence.
In the latest attack, local sources disclosed that the terrorists arrived on tricycle motorcycles, targeted Kwavanza’s household, and abducted his wife, six children, and an infant grandchild.

One of the abducted victims, Esther, had reportedly returned home shortly after childbirth to recuperate with her family when the terrorists struck.
“She had just given birth and came home to rest. She was forced to trek into the Sambisa Forest with her mother, siblings, and her baby,” the source recounted.
As of Monday afternoon, the abductors had made no ransom demand, but contacted the family with a chilling threat.
“They called my uncle and said they would release the breastfeeding mother, but that all the others would be executed in the coming days,” the visibly shaken family member told reporters on Monday evening.
The Chairman of the Madagali Local Government Area confirmed the abduction, describing the security situation as rapidly deteriorating.
“Yes, the incident happened. The security situation is worsening. We are awaiting updates from the security forces handling the matter,” he said.
Residents of Madagali have repeatedly raised the alarm over what they describe as renewed Boko Haram activity, accusing authorities of failing to provide adequate protection despite repeated attacks, abductions, and killings.
Right — have been messing about with this thing for about six months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so figured I’d say something since someone asked me a few days back. I’m based in the UK, mainly bet football and racing, small stakes, just so you know where I’m coming from.
The reason I started using it was honestly pretty stupid — I could never figure out what an ew payout actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. I used to just guess and moan when the payout landed. These days I stick my stake in before every slip, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator is the part I’m on daily — you put in stake and odds and you get the return with no faffing, fractions or decimals. It also handles the fiddly ones — acca and treble maths, lucky 15s, patents and yankees, and that’s where I’d always got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/odds-converter]decimal odds converter[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
The thing that actually shifted things for me was the more serious bits. The probability converter and it makes obvious the overround, and there’s the kelly staking calculator — I use half kelly as the full version is far too aggressive. The dutch tool is decent if I’m spreading across selections.
Not all sunshine though. Its interface looks pretty plain — zero flash, it’s clearly function over form. On my phone it’s fine but the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. There’s no proper app, just the site — slight shame just flagging it.
Anyway. Doesn’t cost anything, barely any ads, works. Anyone who even now does the maths on paper, give it a go — saved me plenty of arguments with the bookie.
Took something from this I did not expect to find, and a stop at thesandiegoleague added another unexpected useful piece, content that exceeds expectations rather than just meeting them is the kind that builds enthusiasm and earns repeat visits without any explicit ask from the writer or platform behind the work being read.
Generally I bookmark sparingly to avoid building up a bookmark graveyard but this one earned a permanent slot, and a stop at banehmagic extended that permanence designation, the few sites I keep permanent bookmarks for are sites I expect to use repeatedly and this one has clearly cleared that expectation bar today.
Reading this triggered a small reorganisation of my own thinking on the topic, and a stop at cavaroline furthered that reorganisation, content that affects the shape of my mental model rather than just decorating it with new facts is content with structural rather than informational impact and this site provides that.
Worth every minute of the time spent reading, and a stop at feb-en extends that value across more pages, in a media environment where most content is engineered to waste attention this site stands out by treating reader time as something valuable rather than something to be exploited and stretched as far as possible.
Closed several other tabs to focus on this one as I read, and a stop at apkcontainer held my undivided attention the same way, content that earns full focus in an attention environment full of competing pulls is content doing something genuinely well and the team behind it deserves recognition for that achievement consistently.
Honestly impressed by the consistency of voice across what I have read so far, and a quick visit to navirobond continued that consistent feel, when a site reads like one careful person rather than a committee the experience is more rewarding for the reader who notices these subtle editorial details over time.
Useful information presented in a way that does not feel like a sales pitch, that is what I appreciated most, and a stop at customerfirstshoppinghub was the same, no upsell and no fake urgency just steady content laid out properly for someone trying to actually learn from it rather than just be sold to.
