According to the group, President Buhari must stop local government allocations to the state so as to prevent individuals from illegally profiting from the crisis in the region.
A group, National Democratic Front, has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to declare a state of emergency in Borno following the renewed spate of insecurity in the state.
“In that particular incident, which happened at Auno, more than 30 persons were said to have been killed while many others were wounded and left for the dead. “We have observed that it is whenever peace and security is attained in Borno and federal authorities or any other body starts talking about conducting local government elections in the state, that is when there would be a relapse to violence and terrorists would strike.
“With 23 local governments, what accrues to Borno as local government funds is quite huge and since there are no elected structures, it is at the discretion of the governor and his appointees to dispense the funds.
