Borno, Nigeria — The Governor of Borno State, Babagana Zulum, has condemned recent attacks by Boko Haram and ISWAP in various parts of the state, while urging residents to remain resilient and prayerful.
In a statement released by his spokesperson, Dauda Illiya on Tuesday, the governor symphatised with the victims while reaffirming the state government’s commitment to working closely with the Federal Government, military, and other security agencies to contain the security challenges.
The statement said 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 added,“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.”
The statement said the governor recalled his recent visit to Gwoza, where he engaged with military personnel and the Izge community, as part of ongoing efforts to reinforce resilience and ensure the protection of lives and property.
It was reported that an explosion killed two travellers along Maiduguri-Damboa Road, an attack in Marte, Chibok, Gwoza, Kala Balge, and other communities.
