Borno State Governor Babagana Zulum’s convoy was attacked by suspected Boko Haram fighters while travelling between Mongono and Baga. The governor was on his way to inspect the distribution of food to displaced people.The Monguno and Baga axis of the state are completely cut off from mobile telephone services because insurgents had destroyed the facilities.
The former Kaduna House of Assembly Deputy Speaker said the people feel that the security agencies have not done enough. “We are calling on our people to be vigilant, and we are asking them to do all that they can to keep themselves alive. Without life, nothing can happen,” the lawmaker said.He added: “In these difficult times, statements by people in authority should serve to heal and unite the people, rather than inflaming passion and justifying the heinous acts.
“To some extent, we even know where the militias come from. But of course, it is only the state that has the resources and the intelligence to be able to go out there and identify them.” “Are you not aware of the senseless carnage and pogroms? Are the people of Southern Kaduna not our fellow human beings? How would they feel if their children are gruesomely slaughtered in such a barbaric way?
