Some terrorists suspected to be Boko Haram members reportedly killed no fewer than seven persons in an attack in Borno State on Monday.
Reports obtained by Gists9ja on Wednesday revealed that the assailants carried out the attack in the Damboa Local Government Area of the state around 11:30 am on Monday.
According to reports, one other person sustained injuries in the incident that happened at the Bulajimbam area. One security source said the outlawed group ambushed the farmers on their way to the farm.
“We got the report late yesterday (Monday), it is sad. Seven people lost their lives and you see it is difficult for us to tell these people not to go farm. We are working hard to ensure they are protected,” Daily Trust quoted a security source saying.
“As we speak this morning, the relatives of victims have already gone to recover their remains. One of the injured is currently receiving treatment at the hospital.
“The funeral prayers will be held later in the day,” a member of the JTF told reporters.
