Why Boko Haram Killed Borno Famers – Gov Zulum

Borno State Governor, Babagana Zulum, has revealed the reason why the Boko Haram terrorist killed at least 43 rice farmers in Zabarmari, Borno State.

The governor said the Boko Haram terrorist group is killing rice farmers and residents of the State for exposing them to the military.

Zulum, who stated this through his spokesman, Isa Gusau, dismissed claims that the people of the State were not cooperating or giving intelligence to the military.

Gusau, in a tweet, recalled that Boko Haram confirmed that its fighters killed Zabarmari farmers for giving out intelligence to the military.

He wrote: “This is one of many consequences of Borno peoples’ cooperation in years now. Many have died for giving intelligence to soldiers, yet the communities won’t stop. Many have followed soldiers to the battles and died, yet they won’t stop. Let us hear one idiot accuse the Borno people again.

“They said Borno people do not cooperate but here is the latest example; the Boko Haram just announced that they beheaded dozens of Zabarmari farmers for informing soldiers about their movement and for capturing one of their men and handing over to soldiers recently.”

Boko Haram had killed several rice farmers in Zabarmari, Jere Local Government Area of the state.

Claiming responsibility for the massacre, a commander of the terrorist group had said the farmers were killed because they apprehended their member and handed him over to the military.

Since the incident was made public over the weekend, the death toll has risen to about 110.

Meanwhile, the leader of the Boko Haram terrorist, Abubakar Shekau, has revealed the reason for the killing of at least 43 rice farmers in Zabarmari, Borno State.

In a video released on Tuesday by Abubakar Shekau’s faction of Boko Haram, claiming responsibility for the killing of at least 43 rice farmers in Zabarmari.

In the video obtained by HumAngle, Shekau said the farmers were killed for collaborating with the Nigerian army.

According to him, some of the farmers arrested its members and handed them to the Nigerian military.

“You think you can arrest our brother and hand him to soldiers and live in peace.

“You think Allah will forget what you have done to our brother.

The Boko haram leader warned that the same fate will behold those in collaboration with the army if they don’t repent.

“This message is for those who notoriously nab our brethren and hand them to the military or give them a clue on us.

“You should know that, unless you repent, what happened to your people is awaiting you,” a masked commander of the group warned in the video.
