Members of the Boko Haram sect have killed over 60 farmers in Rann, the headquarters of Kala-Balge Local Government Area of Borno State.
According to SaharaReporters, bullet injuries were seen on the bodies of the deceased farmers who were buried on Monday.
“The Boko Haram terrorists on motorcycles armed with guns and machetes surrounded their farms and started killing them one by one,” a villager said.
“Over 50 people were buried in Rann on Monday. As it this morning, more dead bodies have been found; the death toll is over 60 now.”
Boko Haram and its offshoot, Islamic State West Africa Province, have become more ferocious in recent times.
This coming as Boko Haram terrorists has increasingly targeted farmers, herders and loggers, accusing them of spying and passing information to the Nigerian military.
The terrorists have also been raiding herding communities, stealing cattle, a valuable commodity in the region to fund their operations.
