At least 43 rice farmers were beheaded by the insurgents in Zabarmari area of Borno State last Saturday.

The horrific killing has been condemned nationally and internationally, with many calling on President Muhammadu Buhari, to seek external support and rejig the country’s security apparatus to overcome the terrorists.

“The cold-blooded murder of these innocent citizens, toiling to eke out a living for themselves and their families and provide food security for our nation is not only callous but satanic,” Tinubu stated.

“Your Excellency, this unfortunate incident despite your spirited efforts in complementing the efforts of the Federal security forces is a sad reminder that the war against these desperate and blood-thirsty insurgents will require more efforts to win,” he noted.
