Two of the affected farmers, namely Umar Masoyi and Ahmad Labaran said, the increasing population of worms was predominant over the week presumably due to rainfall shortage as most farmers were rounding up this year’s farming season plantations.
They said the worms are only interested in eating up guinea corn, millet, and maize plantations.
To this end, farmers have resorted to spraying insecticide and praying for divine intervention.
The same scenario is also being recorded in Autawa, Bambami, Daba, Sabon Gida, Dabaibayawa, Angawa, and Makaɗa villages in Batagarawa Local Government Area of the State.
