The terrorist attack took place in the Dumba region of Nigeria's Borno state, which borders Chad, outside the designated agricultural security zone, an area known for militant activity and landmines, the information commissioner reportedly said.
Terrorists killed at least 40 farmers in
northeastern Nigeria's Borno state, the
local media reported, citing the Borno state information commissioner, Usman Tar.
"The initial report indicates about 40 farmers have been killed, while the whereabouts of many who escaped the attack are being traced for reunion with their families," he was quoted as saying.
The Borno state government ordered Nigerian troops to pursue and eliminate
the jihadists, who are believed to be of the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP)*.
"The Borno State Governor, Prof. Babagana Umara Zulum, condemns this attack in strong terms, and calls on the officers and men of Operation Hadin Kai to track and obliterate the insurgent elements that are operating at Dumba and other similar enclaves in the Lake Chad Area," the official noted. "Governor Zulum also commiserates with the victims and their families, while assuring them that those still missing will be found and reunited with the families."
