The member representing Pankshin/Kanke/Kanam Federal Constituency and Chairman House Committee on Navy Rt. Hon. Yusuf Adamu Gagdi has condemned in strongest terms the killing of rice farmers in Zabarmari, Borno State by Boko Haram insurgents saying he is appalled deeply.
In a statement, the lawmaker said the entire country is deeply saddened over the killing of the innocent rice farmers who committed no crime, except to go to the farm to earn their living.
Gagdi, who expressed sadness over the killings of the innocent rice farmers, said the incident has once again brought to the fore the need for more military action against the terrorists and those who don’t wish our Country well.
He said the tragic incident is a great setback to the efforts of Nigeria to attain domestic sufficiency in rice production as well as food security.
He advised the Federal Government to re-double efforts and consistently support the security agencies and local support groups to ensure that farmers are protected in order to enable them carry out farming activities.
Gagdi said despite this condemnable act, governments at all levels should not relent in their support to security agencies to deal decisively with the terrorists and other criminals.
The lawmaker commiserated with the families of the deceased farmers as well as the people and government of Borno State over the unfortunate incident.
