Borno State Governor Babagana Zulum, yesterday, lamented the activities of Boko Haram/ISWAP in the State.
Zulum lamented that Boko Haram terrorists openly celebrate marriages and collect taxes in the State without confrontation by armed forces.
He spoke during a meeting with lawmakers and some military personnel, at the states Government House, in Maiduguri, the State capital.
Zulum lamented that some areas of the State are still under the control of Boko Haram.
According to him, Presently, Guzamala and Abadam local government areas are still under the control of Boko Haram. Just a few days ago, I received a security report that in some communities of Mandaragirau axis in Biu local government area, there are reports that over 500 Boko Haram/ISWAP groups have been converging with over 300 motorcycles and even celebrating parties/marriages amongst themselves without confrontation”.
ISWAP are collecting taxes along major roads in Damboa and other axes in southern Borno. It is very unfortunate, he further lamented.
