UN Condemns Killing Of Farmers In Borno, Urges Protection For Civilians



The United Nations has expressed deep concern over the recent mass killing of fishermen and farmers in Borno State, allegedly carried out by members of a non-state armed group in Kukawa Local Government Area.

In a statement released on Wednesday, the UN Humanitarian Coordinator in Nigeria, Mohamed Fall, described the incident as horrific.

Reports indicate that on January 12, at least 40 civilians were killed in the Dumba community after violating a ban on farming activities imposed by the group.

Many others remain missing, according to humanitarian agencies operating in neighbouring Monguno Local Government Area.

Fall extended condolences to the families of the victims and called for accountability.

“I am horrified by the recent mass killing of fishermen and farmers in Borno States’s Kukawa Local Government Area reportedly by members of a non-state armed group.

“On 12 January, at least 40 civilians, all men, were reportedly killed in Dumba community in Kukawa after allegedly breaching an NSAG ban on farming activities. Several people remain missing, according to humanitarian partners operating in neighbouring Monguno LG.

“On behalf of the UN in Nigeria, I convey my deepest condolences to the bereaved families and wish the injured a speedy recovery. The UN stands in solidarity with the people and the Government of Borno State.

“The armed actors who perpetrated these attacks must be identified and brought to account in compliance with national and international human rights laws,” he said.

He emphasised the ongoing dangers faced by civilians in conflict-ridden parts of Borno, Adamawa, and Yobe states.

The attack added to a series of violent incidents in 2024, including the abduction of internally displaced persons in Ngala and suicide bombings in Gwoza.

In another notable attack last year, more than 100 men and boys were killed in Yobe State’s Tarmuwa Local Government Area. Similar assaults were reported in the Dikwa, Logomane, Ngala, and Pulka areas of Borno State.

The UN reiterated its commitment to supporting affected communities while urging enhanced security measures. It also called on all parties to the conflict to adhere to international humanitarian laws to protect civilians.

“The UN remains committed to supporting affected people to complement government efforts. I also call for enhanced security measures and urge parties to the conflict to adhere to their obligations under international humanitarian law to protect civilians from harm,” he add
