President Muhammadu Buhari has expressed grief over the killing of farmers on rice fields at Zabarmari, in Jere Local Government of Borno State.
In a statement issued Saturday, through the Spokesman Garba Shehu, the President was quoted to have said,“I condemn the killing of our hardworking farmers by terrorists in Borno State”.
Maiduguri, the capital of Borno State, has been the epicentre of key events and changes in northeast Nigeria during the last decade as a result of Boko Haram activities.
The President said, “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.”
President Buhari said the government had given all the needed support to the armed forces “to take all necessary steps to protect the country’s population and its territory.”
“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.”
