Residents of Moduri community in Magumeri Local Government Area of Borno State in northeast Nigeria on Sunday reported that, three residents were gunned down while attempting to plead with terrorists not to take away their means of livelihoods.
Residents said the terrorists stormed their community at about 7:00 pm, telling the villagers that they did not come with the intention of killing anybody but to loot their possessions, food stuff and cattle.
“But some of the people who went to plead with the terrorists were killed in the process of asking them not to cart away all the cattle ss that is their only source of livelihoods.” Kachallah Moduri told DAILY POST in Maiduguri.
He said the community had been attacked in the past and that the insurgents had been coming to forcibly loot their possessions.
“They might return and because of this killing, they may attack the villagers again because the information has now gone round and the security authorities have been informed of the activities of these bad elements in the area,” Moduri said.
