Armed Bandits Attack Farm In Northern Nigeria Leaves 67 People Dead – Sources

Unic Press: Multiple sources, including locals and news organisations, have reported that criminals murdered/beheaded at least 67 people on Saturday in a farm settlement, a rice field precisely in Borno state, northeast region of the country.

The horrific incident took place at Zabarmari in the Jere local government area of Borno State as innocent people were harvesting their produce. The exact number of the dead is not yet confirmed by the state authorities; and could be much more than 67, because many people are missing.

Reacting yesterday evening to the terrible murder of innocent people in rice fields at Zabarmari, President Muhammadu Buhari said:

“I condemn the killing of our hardworking farmers by terrorists in Borno State. The entire country is hurt by these senseless killings. My thoughts are with their families in this time of grief. May their souls Rest In Peace,” a statement signed by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media/Publicity, Garba Shehu, read.
