Suspected Boko Haram militants yesterday kidnapped around 15 farmers in Ngoshe, a community in Gwoza Local Government Area of Borno State.
This comes after President Tinubu in his independence day speech assured Nigerians on improved security.
The exact timing of the event could not be ascertained due to poor communication network but it was gathered that tensions have been rising between local farmers and suspected militants in the area lately.
Reports have it that, five of the kidnapped individuals were killed, along with a Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF) member, Jubril Dada Zarana, who was working with security agencies to repel the attackers.
A local source said “We regret to inform you that about 15 farmers, including children, women, and the elderly, were taken by Boko Haram in Ngoshe, Gwoza LGA. Unfortunately, the terrorists also killed CJTF member Jubril Dada Zarana and five other civilians.”
“As we mark Independence Day, a day meant for freedom and progress, our people are in pain and despair. They suffer greatly without sufficient aid, risking their lives just to farm and survive.”
