... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality...snuffies who attacked two communities in Hong Local Government Area of Adamawa State.
The attacks occurred on Tuesday, April 15, 2025, when the snuffies stormed the Banga and Larh communities with guns and bombs, killing their victims and bombing vehicles along their path.
Initial reports from residents put the corpse count at six, but the confirmed number has since risen to seven.
In Banga, a vigilante was killed by a kaboom, while two other men were rubbed out. A woman also tragically died after falling while attempting to flee. Two fatalities were recorded in nearby Larh.
The attack also left one boy unaccounted for, with reports stating that his phone was ringing but went unanswered when family and friends tried to contact him.
Among the assets destroyed in the assault was a police van from Garaha, which was stationed in Banga and destroyed by a Boko Haram bomb.
The chairman of Hong Local Government Area, Usman Wa'aganda, confirmed the tragic events in a phone interview on Wednesday, stating that seven lives were lost in the turban attack.
