Governor Babagana Zulum of Borno State has condemned the recent attacks by Boko Haram and ISWAP in various parts of the state, while urging residents to remain resilient and prayerful.
The governor, in a statement released by his spokesperson, Dauda Illiya on Tuesday, symphatised with the victims and reaffirmed the state government’s commitment to working closely with the Federal Government, military, and other security agencies to contain the security challenges.
Zulum also expressed his heartfelt sympathy to the families of all victims affected by the tragic incidents, which included an improvised explosive device (IED) attack along the Maiduguri-Damboa Road.
“The recent surge in attacks will not deter our resolve to tackle the scourge of the 16-year-long insurgency.
“I urge the people of Borno to remain resilient and prayerful. This is a partial eclipse — and we shall overcome it, Insha Allah,” the governor said
“These acts of terror are deeply condemnable. The recent tragic loss of our education staff, gallant troops, and innocent civilians is a painful reminder of the challenges we continue to face,” he added
He further noted “I am more determined than ever to support the military, security agencies, and our volunteer forces in the fight to end terrorism and insurgency in our state.”
