On Thursday, suspected members of Boko Haram insurgents carried out killings in four different communities located within the Mafa and Jere Local Government Areas of Borno State.

Five of the young people who were reportedly out in the bush gathering firewood were found in Tamsu-Ngamdu, two were found in Baram-Karuwa, and one was found in Shuwari. One of the young people was found dead in Muna, which is located in the Jere Local Government Area.

Sherif Goni, a resident of Tamsu-Ngamdu, was speaking to members of the press on Friday when he relayed the following information: “One of the youths, just about 16 years old, who said he was spared by the killers to come and report the story,” Goni said. “He said those killed all had their hands tied at the back and shot.”

On Friday, the Governor of the state, Babagana Zulum, expressed his condolences to the communities that had lost loved ones and assured them that the state government would not be deterred in its efforts to end the state’s ongoing insecurity.

The government is working to improve the ways in which it combats insecurity in order to make it easier for people to engage in farming and other economic activities.

“Farmers should, however, also augment the government’s efforts and design their own respective community strategies for fighting insecurity,” Zulum said.

He ordered all of the farmers to be at their farms by six in the morning and to leave by five in the afternoon, and he instructed the security agents not to be deterred by the resurgence of terrorist activities.

On June 15, what are believed to be insurgents killed approximately 15 farmers in Molai and the surrounding communities in the Konduga Local Government Area of the state.
