However, Zulum maintained that his resolve to return Borno to sanity and peace cannot be changed or shaken by recent ugly experiences.
He added:
“The situation, of course, is obnoxious and unlikely to remain unchanged except drastic actions is taken; otherwise the insurgency will take over Maiduguri.”
Zulum noted that this is important because areas like Lake Chad, the Sambisa axis and the Mandara hills need peace most because they provide the entire state with all its agricultural produce.
Earlier, weeks after crying out for being shot at by gunmen on his way to visit Internally Displaced Persons with relief materials, the governor of Borno, Babagana Zulum was attacked again by terrorists near the town of Baga in Borno.
Zulum escaped death after his convoy was ambushed on Friday, September 25, by Jihadist insurgents loyal to the IS-affiliated Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) group.
