Buba Gambo, forcibly uprooted from his Konduga home, is now a refugee in Maiduguri, where living has become traumatic amid feeble efforts towards livelihood recovery.
He was a thriving farmer but he is now cut from his farm – which he depended on to cater for his family – due to the raging armed hostilities between Boko Haram insurgents and Nigerian security forces.
“I am a rice farmer, who used to get over 200 bags of rice annually but I couldn’t farm again, because our farmlands are no longer accessible,” Mr Gambo lamented.
Mr Gambo’s fate offers a window into the conditions of several other forcibly displaced farming families.
