Suspected Boko Haram terrorists reportedly killed over 40 farmers in Kayakura village, Doron Baga ward, Kukawa Local Government Area of Borno State.
The attack occurred around 4:30 p.m. on Sunday, leaving dozens missing.
A local source disclosed that the assailants arrived in large numbers, shooting sporadically.
“As we speak, many people are missing, and they killed more than 40 farmers, predominantly those who escaped the attack in Gwoza Local Government Area,” the source revealed.
A security source, however, estimated the death toll at 30, stating, “Thirty people lost their lives during the attack on the farmers in the Doron Baga ward.”
The incident comes less than 24 hours after two people were killed, and a church set ablaze in a similar attack on Chibok community in southern Borno.
