Borno State Governor, Professor Babagana Zulum, has chaired an expanded security council meeting with particular references to yesterday’s security situation and the insurgency that has bedeviled the state for the past thirteen years.
In a press briefing by the Borno State Commissioner for Information, Home Affairs and Culture, Hon Babakura Abba Jato, said the expanded security council meeting has in attendance the State Executive Council, entire traditional rulers under the leadership of the Shehu of Borno and all Service Chiefs in the state.
The Governor registered his most utmost appreciation over the effort of the Nigerian military forces, paramilitaries, civilian JTF, hunters and vigilantes for bringing down the level of insurgency in the state to the barest minimum.
He called on them to increase their efforts so that the whole state would be free to live their normal lives without any hindrance.
Governor Zulum also expressed his gratitude for the clearing exercise in the shores of the Lake Chad and the Sambisa Forest, noting that although the factional leader of Boko Haram, Abubakar Shekau, was killed, a new group is taking over Shekau’s position.
Meanwhile, reacting to the unfortunate incident that occurred during the demolition of EYN Church, the commissioner noted that the governor has already issued out a statement and immediately set up committee of inquiry and investigation is ongoing.
When the outcome of the investigation is out, the general public would be adequately informed, and justice would take its course at the end of the enquiry.
However, the governor made it clear that his administration would not condone any form of indiscipline or breach of law by any individual.
