Koshebe massacre

Since the 2009 Boko Haram uprising in northern Nigeria, thousands of people have been killed and thousands more wounded in Nigeria, Niger, Chad and Cameroon. An attack near the village of Gubio in June 2020 resulted in 81 deaths. In October 2020, Boko Haram carried out two separate attacks in fields near Maiduguri, slitting the throats of 22 farmers. Flooding in northwest Nigeria earlier in the year destroyed thousands of hectares of rice, and food prices rose substantially in 2020 mainly due to insecurity in food-producing regions. ==Massacre==

On 28 November 2020, Boko Haram militants slaughtered as many as 110 farm laborers in Koshebe village, located near Borno State's capital Maiduguri. ==Reactions==

Nigerian president Muhammadu Buhari condemned the massacre, and expressed grief over the killing of farmers on rice fields at Zabarmari, in Jere Local Government of Borno State, describing the terrorist killings as "...insane". The governor of Borno state, Babagana Umara Zulum, lead the funeral of the victims, and called on the federal government to enlist more soldiers and security force members to protect the farmers. ==References==
