Borno State Governor, Professor Babagana Umara Zulum, on
Sunday, admitted that the dreaded Islamic sect, Boko Haram exists in many parts
of the state and are threat to over six million people in the state.
The governor said the presence of the deadly sect still
holding on Sambisa forest and the Lake Chad regions in northern Borno is
worrisome.
The governor, who was speaking to farmers and fishermen
after he attended the burial of 43 farmers killed by the insurgents on Sunday,
said though his administration has launched a security outfit called ‘Agric
-Ranchers’, which comprise military, paramilitary and members of the Civilian
Joint Task Force and local Hunter, there is the need for collective
responsibility especially from the parts of the Federal Government.
He also said governments of border countries of Chad, Niger
and Cameroon Republic should work with the Nigerian government to address the
lingering crisis in the region.
The governor lamented with regret the escalating killings
perpetrated by armed insurgents in some parts of the state and assured that his
administration will soon recruit additional Civilian Joint Task Force to
complement efforts of the security operatives in the fight against Boko Haram.
“What happened in Koshobe community yesterday, is very sad
and I can admit that the dreaded Boko Haram sect are still existing strongly in
many parts of our state,” Governor Zulum said.
