Oga Zulum confam say on Saturday militants wey dem suspect to be from Boko Haram arrive for one rice farm for Koshebe, wey be plantation area. Many of di farmers come from Zabarmari, wey be anoda neighbour town and normally farmers go spend two to three days for Koshebe town to farm before dem return to dia house. Di farmers bin first tink say di attackers mean well for dem, based on how di militants - wey no carry guns - explain say na preach dem wan preach to dem. Next tin be say dem put dem inside one house, only to begin bring dem outside one by one, to slaughter dem "like cow". Di first time govnor confam say women and pikin no dey among di 34 men wey die, although e say 13 pipo escape.

In fact di mata worse between 2011 to 2015. "Before 8am, at least four to five bomb blasts go don happun, wey four hundred, five hundred pipo go die inside. Almost 1000 pipo die in one day... for 2013," Zulum bin recall as im compare current times to some years ago.
