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.

In a statement signed by Ladi Bala, National President and the National Secretary, Helen Udofa, in Abuja, notes 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 says that it is equally saddened by the increasing spate of insecurity and constant threat to lives of Nigerians across the country and therefore calls for renewed efforts to make the states particularly the North-east region safe again.

It says the incessant killings have rendered many women to an untimely widowhood life with its attendant consequences on the future of their children and the society, a development that spells doom for the future.

NAWOJ while commiserating with the Government and the good people of Borno State over the callous, inhuman, ugly, unfortunate and unacceptable incident, appeals to Governor Babagana Zulum to give widows of the deceased appointment as an alternative source of income to alleviate their sufferings.

The Association welcomes 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 their fight against terrorists and bandits in the country.

The battle, NAWOJ says, must be won for Nigerians and for a better Nigeria.
