Boko Haram kill 15 hunters in Borno
According
to Vanguard, the incident has resulted to the scarcity of grasshopper,
otherwise known as ‘Fara’ in Hausa, in the market within the state.
According to a source, the insurgents clashed with the victims in the bushes near Kareto community, north of the state.
The source revealed that “15 people were killed by terrorists while they were combing bushes around Kareto area to hunt grasshoppers.
“When
the grasshopper hunters were in the bush, some group of terrorists
suddenly appeared and started shooting sporadically, after which they
killed one of the hunters before slaughtering 14 and fled without any
arrest”.
Confirming
the development, Mrs. Hanatu Jauro who fries Fara in Maiduguri, said
she had been finding it very difficult to get the commodity for sale, as
one of her customers was among those killed in the ambush.
