Again, Boko Haram Terrorists Kill Over A Dozen Farmers In Borno

Reports from Maidugiri indicate that over a dozen farmers have been killed by Boko Haram terrorists at Puciwa and Koleram communities in Magumeri council area of Borno State, North East Nigeria.

Confirming the Monday evening onslaught on Tuesday evening, the acting council secretary, Mallam Wali, added that the assailants injured 16 other villagers and rustled cattle, sheep and goats.

Wali recalled that the local council also witnessed the abduction of five employees of an oil exploration firm and the Department of Geology, University of Maiduguri last year.

The local government secretary said the neighbouring councils of Gubio and Gajiram had been under the control of the sect.

“The insurgents stormed the twin farming communities in the evening (Monday). They also rustled cattle, sheep and goats. Sixteen villagers were injured besides the over 13 deaths.

“Barely an hour after the attacks, our people had to flee to Magumeri, 40 kilometres north of Maiduguri, the state capital. Some of the villagers could only take along with them a few of their personal effects.”

He continued, “We are much terrified by the latest and deadly attacks by insurgents.

“The whole communities in Gubio/Gajiram axis bordering Nganzai Local Government Area are daily being terrorised by insurgents.”

He noted that the livelihoods of the fleeing villagers had equally been destroyed by the invaders.

“But we are doing our best to ensure that the displaced persons are properly taken care of,” the official stated, adding that the council was working with security agencies to restore normalcy in the affected communities.

Several communities in Borno and several parts of north east Nigeria have come under terrifying attacks by Boko Haram terrorists in the last few years, killing tens of thousands and displacing millions according to the United Nations Refugee agency.
