Terrorists kill another Police officer-turned-farmer at his farm in Bama
By Zagazola Makama
A Mobile Officer, Inspector Luka, attached to MOPOL 53, has been killed by terrorists in his farm located at Mohammed Indimi Estate in Bama town, Borno State. Luka was reportedly killed in the early hours of Monday Oct. 30, 2023.
It was gathered that the terrorists who hid in the tree captured him and seized his rifle before removing his uniform, killed him and left him with boxers.
Zagazola Makama, counter insurgency expert in the Lake Chad region understands that in a bid to make ends meet, more and more Police officers in the area are taking to farming to complement their job.
The farming endeavor by the local police officers has turned out to be a huge risk of late as terrorists now lie in wait to attack them with the aim of carting away their uniforms and rifles.
The attack on Inspector Luka is the second in a month of such attack on police officers in the area. Another personnel of the Nigeria Police was similarly killed by the terrorists while working in his farm earlier in the month.
