Terrorists Threaten Farmers in Kebbi: “Use Cattle or Die”

Farmers in Augie Local Government Area of Kebbi State are living in fear following chilling threats reportedly issued by suspected members of the Lakurawa terrorist group. The extremists have ordered farmers to abandon the use of modern farming machinery and return to traditional, cattle-driven methods or face death.

Security analyst Zagazola Makama confirmed that the group warned locals that using mechanized equipment would result in execution. The threat has sparked panic in communities already grappling with rampant cattle rustling, which initially pushed many to embrace modern farming alternatives.

“We’re now at the mercy of terrorists who want to dictate how we grow our food,” a concerned resident stated. “They ban us from using machines, and when we resort to cattle, they steal them too. We’re trapped.”

Credible intelligence sources have verified the threat, which is reportedly circulating across multiple villages in the region. As fear spreads, community members are urgently calling on the Nigerian government and security forces to step in and restore safety.
