Boko Haram massacre dozens of farmers in Borno, as hunters kill two terrorists, injured scores

Armed members of Boko Haram terrorists suspected to be ISWAP group last Sunday invaded farmlands on the outskirts of Kala Balge Local Government Area of Borno state and massacred over 50 farmers.

This is even as local hunters ambushed hideouts of terrorists in Wanori village of Konduga Local Government Area of the state and killed two terrorists, while several others sustained various degrees of injuries, after recovering 11 wheelbarrows used in looting foodstuff by the terrorists.


Kala Balge is a border town with the Cameroun Republic with a poor telecommunications network which delayed the Information on the latest massacre of farmers.

Sources said, the insurgents armed with sophisticated weapons sneaked into the farms and started killing farmers one after the other, but confirming the incident, member house of representative, Kala Balge, Bama and Ngala federal constituency, Hon Dr Zainab Gimba told Vanguard that the victims were mostly not farmers, but scavengers who went outside the community to fend for themselves before they were ambushed by the terrorists.

“Over 50 people were buried in Rann on Monday. As of this morning, more dead bodies have been found; the death toll is over 60 now.” Said a farmer, Ali Isa who escaped unhurt.

Recall that Boko Haram has increasingly targeted farmers, herders and loggers, accusing them of spying and passing information to the Nigerian military.

They have also been raiding herding communities and stealing cattle, a valuable commodity in the region to fund their operations.

In 2020, the insurgents invaded a rice plantation in Zabarmari, a community in the Jere Local Government Area, killing at least 43 farmers.

Igbo men are cashing out big time lol

Gunmen suspected to be bandits have killed a , Abayomi Olukoju, in Ajowa Akoko, Akoko North West Local Government of Ondo State.



According to Nigerian Tribune, the 49-year-old victim was travelling between Ajowa Akoko/ Akunnu road on a motorcycle when he ran into the gunmen on Sunday May 15. It was gathered that Olukoju fled upon sighting the gunmen only to run into other members of the gang who shot him from behind after he failed to stop.

A source in the community told the publication that the deceased was returning to his station in Obajana to resume duty on Monday.



He said the lifeless body of Olukoju was discovered by some travellers coming from Abuja in a pool of blood.



The source said some policemen from the area and soldiers visited the scene of the incident and combed the area but no arrest was made while the remains of the deceased were deposited at the morgue.

Speaking on the incident, one Soji Ogedengbe lamented the incessant killings in the community, saying many residents of the community had been kidnapped and killed in the last few months.

Ogedengbe said the leadership of the community has put in place several measures to curtail the activities of the criminals through communal security arrangements but bandits never stopped terrorising the people of the area.



He disclosed that farmers in area had stopped going to farmers and called security agencies and Amotekun in the state to come to the aid of the people of the area, saying the bandits always come to Akoko from Kogi, being a border town.



He said that the influx of the heavily armed herdsmen to that area is making life miserable for farmers and the inhabitants of the area.
