Yobe: Emir of Fune sues for peace between farmers and herders
By: Yahaya Wakili
The emir of Fune in Yobe state, Alhaji (Dr.) Saleh Idris Ibn Usman, has called on farmers and herders to be patient with one another and to live in peace. This country belongs to us; we can’t go anywhere but Nigeria.
Alhaji Saleh Idris Ibn Usman made the call in an interview with the newsmen in Damagum, the headquarters of the emirate council. He said, God knows why he keeps us together, the harders and the farmers.
He calls on farmers to harvest their farm produce in time, not leave their farm produce to stay long in the farm, and also urges the herders to stay away from farmlands to enable farmers to park their farm produce.
The emir draws the attention of the security agents to protect the lives and property of the citizens and allow the herders to pass and urges the farmers not to take the law into their hands.
“If he destroyed your farm produce, report him to the authority concerned; don’t touch him. We have the ward head, the village head, and the district head, and we have the emir. Report him to them; they will take necessary action against him,” the emir added.
Alhaji Saleh Idris maintained that it is not fair that someone spent a year suffering in farming his farm; he finished everything; the only thing that remains is to harvest the produce. In a day you come and destroy the farm produce; in fact, it is not a small offense.
He said, We have been enlightening the farmers every year to harvest their farm produce in time and urge the herders not to encroach into the farm until farmers cultivate and evacuate their farm produce.

JNIM terrorists clashes with rival factions in rare encounter in Nigeria’s Kebbi state
By: Zagazola Makama
A suspected clash between rival terrorists factions has been reported in Kebbi State, raising fresh security concerns in the North-West region.
Sources said the incident occurred on April 4, when a group identified as Jama’at Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin (JNIM) claimed it engaged a rival faction described as “Khawarij”.
The group alleged that one fighter was killed and another captured during the encounter, while three motorcycles and about N10 million were recovered.
However, the identity of the opposing group has yet to be independently verified.
Preliminary indications suggest the rival faction may be linked to Boko Haram or one of its splinter groups, though this remains subject to confirmation.
Security sources said the development could represent one of the first reported inter-jihadist clashes in the region.
