The farmers and fishers in Baga communities have warned by the Borno State Governor, Babagana Zulum to stay away from collaborating with Boko Haram.
According to the governor, such collaboration is a threat to peace and stability in the region.
Zulum gave the warning while addressing the residents at the palace of the district head in Baga town on Wednesday.
“I urge the people of Baga and surrounding communities to conduct their farming activities only within areas approved by the military,” he said.
He stressed that “while we support agricultural activities, it is critical that our people comply with the guidelines to ensure their safety and the stability of the state.”
The governor’s visit came on the heels of a recent attack by the Islamic State of the West African Province in Dumba, the Kukawa Local Government Area of the state.
The attack resulted in the killing of 40 farmers.
Zulum condemned any form of collaboration with insurgents, deeming it “unacceptable and detrimental to ongoing efforts to restore stability in the state.”
