Senator Abubakar Kyari, the Honourable Minister of Agriculture and Food Security, expressed deep sadness and outrage over the killing of 15 farmers in Marte Local Government Area of Borno State by suspected terrorists.

Kyari concluded with prayers for the deceased and a call for the protection of farmers and rural communities.
