The president, who expressed regret at the attacks, described the loss of several lives in the attacks as tragic. He also assured that the security agencies will bring the attackers to justice.
Governor Babagana Umara Zulum recently paid a visit to Gubio local government area where Boko Haram insurgents killed a lot of the villagers.
Reports say that the insurgents murdered as much as 70 natives of Faduma Kolomdi village in the state.
Describing the attack as barbaric, Governor Zulum evacuated about five injured persons in his official convoy to a hospital for immediate treatment.
The governor revealed that one strong point the insurgents are holding on to for now is the fact that they have a hiding place in Chad. He added that the terrorists can be defeated when they are dislodged from the region.
