Governor Babagana Zulum of Borno State on Sunday said Boko Haram is still carrying out pockets of attacks in Sambisa Forest, Lake Chad, and Mandate Hills.
He spoke on Channels TV’s Politics Today.
According to Zulum: ”We still have pockets of Boko Haram attacks, especially in the fringes of Lake Chad and Sambisa game reserve and Mandara Hills.
“Recently, there was an attack on Chadian subjects by Boko Haram and because of these reasons, the Chadian authorities have taken a strong decision to repel Boko Haram and ISWAP insurgents in their territories. The president himself was on the battlefield and somehow they have sent them away from their territory and they are now in Nigeria, especially in Borno State.
“Last two weeks, a community was attacked and we lost some subjects; about a week [ago], insurgents attacked the headquarters of Kukawa LGA, where the Nigerian military killed about 50 of them while seizing some numbers of their machines.
“So I think you are right; it’s not yet Uhuru because there is a need to tighten our belt with the aim of defeating the remnant of insurgents.”
