Governor of Borno State, Prof. Babagana Umara Zulum, has expressed serious concern over recent attacks by Boko Haram in some towns and villages of Askira-Uba local government area.<\/p>\n

The reaction follows attack on Chul village this week, after similar attacks on Rumirgo, Lassa, Mussa, Kufa and Gwandam all in Askira-Uba within the last three weeks.<\/p>\n

A statement on Thursday by the Special Adviser on communications and strategy to the governor, Malam Isa Gusau, said Zulum had raised concerns that whereas the insurgents appeared confined to the shores of the Lake Chad in northern Borno, they have been able to reach other parts of the state.<\/p>\n

Gusau said: \u201cGovernor Babagana Umara Zulum is worried about the recent attacks by Boko Haram in Chul, Rumirgo, Lassa, Mussa, Kufa and Gwandam towns and villages in Askira-Uba local government area of Borno State.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Governor shares the pains with victims of these attacks and assured them of his administration\u2019s continued effort in addressing the security problem.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Governor intends to visit Askira-Uba when he goes to Southern part of the state in the coming days.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Governor assures the affected people of government support and more importantly, his commitment to sustaining support for the military and other security agencies; to continuously mobilize and aggressively equip volunteers under the civilian JTF, hunters and vigilantes in all communities.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
