One of the survivors of the recent attack on farmers in Borno state has alleged that the villagers alerted the military about an imminent attack but “nothing was done”.

Authorities have confirmed at least 45 farmers were murdered by members of the Boko Haram sect in Zamarmari area.

The UN had initially placed the number of those killed above 100, but on Monday, adjusted their statement and simply disclosed that tens of civilians were killed.

And in a report, Daily Trust quoted Abubakar Salihu, one of the survivors, as saying they envisaged the attack after they caught one of the Boko Haram members.
