GOVERNORS OF THE 36 STATES CONDEMN THE KILLING OF OVER 40 RICE FARMERS IN BORNO STATE

Governors of the thirty six states of the country under the aegis of Nigeria Governors forum, have described the killing of over forty rice farmers in Garin Kwashebe in Jere Local Government Area of Borno state by suspected Boko Haram terrorists as obnoxious, wicked, unwarranted and morally reprehensible.

In a statement signed by NGF chairman and the Ekiti state Governor, Dr Kayode Fayemi, the action of the Boko Haram insurgents have brought back what they descriced as the ugly memories of several dastardly attacks on soft targets in the state.

The Governors are concerned that the carriage is degenerating beyond explicable limits, and the catalogue of destruction is not only seeming to be endless and intractable but it has an adverse effect on everything in the state and country at large.
