The Koshebe massacre took place on 28 November 2020 in the village of Koshebe, Nigeria, in Borno State, when as many as 110 civilians and peasant farmers were killed and six were wounded as they worked in rice fields in Koshebe village, near the northeast Nigerian city of Maiduguri.[2] The attack was thought to be carried out by the Boko Haram insurgency.[3] About 15 women were also kidnapped.[4]
