On a day when the Borno State Government had officially cleared and profiled over 6,000 farmers to venture into their fields, armed insurgents (believed to be ISWAP) intercepted a group of farmers in Bulagarji, a village just a few kilometers outside the town of Mafa. The insurgents took advantage of the distance some farmers traveled away from the security-protected "inner ring" of the town to kidnap them.

Gunmen suspected to be kidnappers killed Abdulmalik Tukur, a 32-year-old graduate of Modibbo Adama University (MAU), Yola, after collecting ₦500,000 ransom. The victim had recently completed his NYSC service year in Plateau State and had just returned to his father’s house in Vinikilang community, outskirts of Yola.

A five-man gang of armed Bandits invaded the Sakpefu community, scaled the fence of Alhaji Muhammad Swasun‘s residence, and abducted his wife, Hajiya Fatima, and daughter, Amina. The assailants fired sporadically into the air to cause panic before forcing their way into the compound and taking the victims at gunpoint. Local vigilantes mobilized immediately but could not locate the victims or the abductors by Monday morning. The APC chairman reportedly saw his wife and daughter being taken away and considered himself “lucky not to be kidnapped”
