The chairman of Gulani Local Government Area in Yobe State, Daiyabu Ilu Njibulwa, has urged the police to intervene in the attack on farmers in Zango Village, Dokshi Ward, which left two people dead and two others critically injured.

According to a security expert, Zagazola Makama, the attack occurred on Friday evening and is believed to be linked to a long-standing dispute between residents of Zango Village and individuals from the Azare axis, a conflict that locals say has persisted for about two years.

Eyewitnesses said the assailants, armed with arrows and machetes, attacked the farmers while they were working on their farmlands. Two victims reportedly died instantly, while two others sustained severe injuries.
During a visit to the scene, Njibulwa criticised what he described as inadequate police action despite repeated reports of tensions in the area.
“We have repeatedly directed our complaints to the police, but no proper actions were taken despite the fact that a similar conflict occurred here last year,” he said. “Today, we are here to show you the victims, including the two corpses. It is time for you to take action now, do it between you and your God,” said Njibulwa
