Confirming the attacks, the organizer of the Shiroro Youth Conference, Abubakar Sani Bello Koki, stated that the terrorists invaded the communities in large numbers on motorbikes carrying two or three passengers and worked for several hours.
Kouki denounced in strong terms the deliberate refusal by the government to put an end to the increased activities of militants in the areas, saying: “It is very painful the way and the way in which the villagers were displaced from their homes and are now taking refuge in camps for the displaced.
“The villagers could no longer reap their agricultural crops, because the militants had warned them to stay away from their farms,” Koki added.
