Meanwhile, following the latest attacks, the governor of Borno state, Babagana Zulum, has made seven recommendations to the federal government to defeat the Boko Haram insurgents.
He made the recommendations when he received a delegation of the federal government which was in the state on a condolence visit.
Among others, Governor Zulum advised the Muhammadu Buhari-led administration to recruit foreign mercenaries to help in ending the Boko Haram insurgency, instead of relying solely on the Nigerian security forces.
