The affected farm owners include Kabiru Halilu Kwaga, who had harvested over 160 bags of maize last year and was hoping for an even larger harvest this year. However, all of his crops were set ablaze by the attackers.


Surajo Kwaga, who had harvested 40 bags of maize from his farm last year, also lost his entire crop to the fire. Similarly, Malam Dan Gido, who had harvested 50 bags last year and was expecting about 65 bags this year, saw his hopes dashed by the attack.


Jibril Haladu Kwaga also lost his harvested maize in the incident. The affected farmers prayed for divine consolation for their losses.

The state government had yet to make an official statement on the incident. Also, the state police command’s Public Relations Officer, ASP Mansir Hassan, couldn’t be reached on the phone.
