Boko Haram: NGF Condemns Killing Of Borno Farmers

The Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF) has condemned the killing of over 40 rice farmers in Borno State, describing the attack as morally reprehensible.
Ekohotblog gathered that they were beheaded on Saturday, by Boko Haram terrorists.
The forum made this known in a statement by its Chairman, Kayode Fayemi, Governor of Ekiti State.
According to him, the incident brought back ugly memories of several dastardly attacks on soft targets in the State.
He said that the method was consistent with the senseless bombings of busy markets, bus stations, schools and abattoirs whenever the terrorists felt overpowered by the security operatives.

The statement read in part, “This sad narrative raises serious questions on the general security situation in the country and around the capability of the nation’s security architecture.
“It also raises questions on whether or not there are adequate arrangements to protect lives and property.”
Fayemi said that the governors were worried that this was degenerating beyond explicable limits.
He warned that the catalogue of destruction had an adverse effect on everything in the State and the country at large.
Fayemi added that the NGF would collectively review those issues at its next meeting to forge the way forward.
