Eleven farmers were killed in two separate attacks over the weekend in northeastern Nigeria, according to local reports. The first incident took place in Kuwawu village, Borno State, where seven farmers were reportedly rounded up and had their throats slit. These victims had traveled from the nearby garrison town of Monguno to prepare their fields for sowing.

Earlier on the same day, four additional farmers were reportedly killed on their farms near Kross Kauwa. While the attacks have been attributed to militants from the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP), official confirmation remains pending.

The violence underscores the continuing security challenges faced by communities in Borno State amid ongoing conflicts involving various armed groups. Farmers and rural residents in the region have frequently been targeted, disrupting agricultural activities and exacerbating food security issues. Local authorities and security forces have yet to issue detailed statements addressing the recent attacks.
