Suspected Boko Haram terrorists have killed four farmers in Kirawa, a community in Gwoza Local Government Area of Borno State.

Kirawa is a border town with Cameroon at the Mandara mountains where the terrorists are known to be hiding.

The incident occurred Thursday evening when the farmers were working on their farms.

Bukar Umar Aji, Councillor of Kirawa Jimini Ward and Speaker of the Gwoza Local Government Council, confirmed the incident.

Aji appealed to the armed forces to provide adequate security for the people to farm and earn a living.

Boko Haram has increasingly targeted farmers, herders and loggers, accusing them of spying and passing information to the Nigerian military.

They have also been raiding herding communities, stealing cattle, a valuable commodity in the region to fund their operations.

In 2022, members of the sect launched a large-scale attack, killing over 60 farmers in Rann, the headquarters of Kala-Balge Local Government Area of Borno State.

In 2020, the insurgents invaded a rice plantation in Zabarmari, a community in the Jere Local Government Area, killing at least 43 farmers.

Boko Haram and its offshoot, Islamic State West Africa Province, have become more ferocious in recent times.

The Nigerian Army has repeatedly claimed that the insurgency has been largely defeated and it frequently underplays any losses.

The terror group has caused over 100,000 deaths and displaced millions of individuals mainly in Adamawa, Borno and Yobe states.
