Boko Haram: Borno Govt Refutes Reports Of Fresh Attack On Governor Zulum’s Convoy
Borno State Government has refuted fresh reports claiming there was another attack on Governor Babagana Zulum and his security details by Boko Haram on Sunday.
A report by an online media medium had claimed that terrorists on Saturday, ambushed an advance team of the governor at Ja’alta along Gajiram to Monguno Road, killing seven soldiers and members of Civilian-JTF.
A statement issued by Zulum’s spokesman, Malam Isa Gusau, on Sunday, said the governor traveled to Baga, spent a day supervising the distribution of food and other relief to thousands of residents and returned to Maiduguri safely with no hitch whatsoever.
“The governor was actually in Baga from Saturday to Sunday, during which he supervised the distribution of food and cash support to 5,000 residents and he assessed major reconstruction and resettlement efforts with no hitch whatsoever,”
“While we continually accord respect to all media organizations as supportive partners, we importantly clarify that we have no knowledge of the breaking news” in question. As members of the public can testify, it is the culture and principle of Professor Zulum to say things as they are, and in this case, it is what it is – no attack whatsoever
“Any media organization that wants further clarification may wish to contact the Nigerian military. Meanwhile, Governor Zulum appreciates all well wishers, and he gratefully commends armed forces and civilian volunteers for the relentless efforts to fully regain lasting peace in Borno State.” the statement added
