However, Baba expressed worry that such a thing should be possible in the first place.
His words:
“They are launching it in major towns, they are launching it in Maiduguri. It is a concern. And it has been seriously checkmated. There are efforts to continuously checkmate it.
“Yes, they have done it, but to a large extent, they have not achieved what they intended to achieve because of the situation the security agencies, particularly the military, put in place.
“Yes, it had been done before and even after. Some of those who must have planned and thrown those rockets have been taken out.”
