Gwoza gets new Emir

The kingmakers in Gwoza Emirate Council of Borno State on Wednesday announced Alhaji Muhammad Timta as the new Emir of Gwoza.
Timta replaces his father, Shehu, killed by Boko Haram sect members on his way to Gombe two weeks ago.
The new emir was chosen after a meeting of the kingmakers in Gwoza.
The coronation was low keyed due to security challenges and continuous attacks on Gwoza by the Boko Haram insurgents.
However, the new emir promised to unite and strengthen the relationship between Christians and Muslims in the area.
