Senator Mohammed Ali Ndume, representing Borno South, has condemned renewed Boko Haram attacks on Ngoshe in Gwoza Local Government Area and Mussa in Askira/Uba, which left several people dead over the weekend.
In Ngoshe, five farmers were killed on their farmlands on
Saturday morning. The same night in Mussa, gunmen invaded the community,
killing three youths and setting houses and shops ablaze.
Reacting in a statement on Sunday, Ndume described the
incidents as “heartbreaking and deeply painful,” lamenting the continuous
targeting of innocent citizens, especially farmers and youths.
“I am profoundly saddened by these senseless killings. Our
people, whose only pursuit is peace and livelihood, continue to fall victim to
insurgents,” he said.
The senator commended the efforts of troops under Operation
Hadin Kai but urged the federal and state governments to strengthen security in
rural areas. He called for more deployment of personnel, sophisticated weapons,
and air support to protect farming communities.
Ndume also urged residents to remain vigilant and cooperate
with security agencies, stressing that unity and resilience are vital in
confronting insurgency.
