2024-10-02

[VANGUARDNGR] Just hours after President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Governor Babagana Zulum assured the nation of adequate security in their broadcasts marking Nigeria's 64th Independence Anniversary, reports emerged that suspected Boko Haram

gunnies kidnapped around 15 farmers in the Ngoshe community of Gwoza Local Government Area in Borno State.

It remains unclear whether the incident occurred on Tuesday, as the area suffers from poor telecommunications. Unconfirmed reports indicate that tensions had been rising between gunnies and farmers as crops were nearing harvest in the border communities of Cameroon

and Gwoza.

Sources revealed that five of the kidnapped individuals were killed, along with a member of the Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF), Jubril Dada Zarana, who actively collaborated with security agencies to thwart the attack.

Reliable sources stated: ''We sorrowfully announce the abduction of about 15 farmers, including children, women, the young, and the elderly, by Boko Haram gunnies in Ngoshe, Gwoza LGA.

''The attack also resulted in the deaths of CJTF member Jubril Dada Zarana and five civilians.

''The gunnies ambushed the farmers while they were engaged in their agricultural activities. The security forces, including the army and CJTF, made efforts to protect the community but could not hold off the attackers for long.

''Jubril Dada Zarana was killed honorably while defending his people, and the other victims were taken alive.

''After the gunnies transported the victims to their base, they mercilessly slaughtered five individuals: Isa Musa Moh'd Diyara, Doglas, Salawuddin Suleman Dauda Lawan, Maryam Gwambran, Matan Kaka Mobil Aga, and Baba Amos.

''Later, the gunnies released three women captives, who reported that the remaining victims, including Anna Andrew Gadzawaga, Hauwa Braga, and two unidentified boys, were still held hostage.

''Additionally, some of the missing victims include Babawo Kanin Shagari, Ummi Trabos, and Babson Yaron Teacher, among others.
