In a related development, the Nigeria Association of Women Journalists (NAWOJ) condemns in strong terms the barbaric killings of innocent Rice farmers in Zabamari of Mafa Local Government Area of Borno State.
NAWOJ in a statement in Abuja, signed by the President, Ladi Bala and National Secretary, Helen Udofa, noted that the senseless killing of innocent Nigerians in any part of the country is totally unacceptable and MUST be checked and stopped decisively.
NAWOJ particularly expressed concerns and said it is equally saddened by the increasing spate of insecurity and constant threat to lives of Nigerians across the country, calling for renew efforts to make the states particularly the North-east region safe again.
It said the incessant killings have forced many women into untimely widowhood with its attendant consequences on the future of their children and society, a development that spells doom for the future.
NAWAOJ, while commiserating with the Government and the people of Borno State over the calous, inhuman, ugly, unfortunate and unacceptable incident,
appealed to Governor Babagana Zulum to give widows of the deceased appointment as alternative source of income to alleviate their sufferings.
The Association welcomed the Marching Order by President Muhammadu Buhari to the military to take the battle to the enclave of the terrorists.
Accordingly, the Association appeals to the military and other security agencies to, as a matter of National interest and concerns, step up the fight against terrorists and bandits in the country.
