Mr Ndume who confirmed the attacks in a statement on Sunday described it as “heartbreaking and deeply painful.”

It was gathered that on Saturday Morning, the insurgents killed five farmers on their farmlands in Ngoshe, Gwoza Local Government Area.

While acknowledging the sacrifices of troops under the Theatre Commander of Operation Hadin Kai, the lawmaker assured residents of Ngoshe, Mussa, and the wider Borno South that he remains committed to improving security in rural areas.

“We will not fold our hands while our people are being attacked. I will continue to push for the deployment of more personnel, sophisticated weapons, stationed attack helicopters or fighter jets, improved intelligence, and proactive measures to safeguard our farming communities.

“The safety of our people remains my top priority,” he added.

He appealed to the residents to remain vigilant and cooperate with security agencies to prevent further attacks.
