Borno Dep. Governor says Boko Haram may capture entire 3 North East states in weeks
The Deputy Governor of Borno state, Zanna
Mustapha, while visiting thousands displaced
indigenes in Yola yesterday Monday November
3rd, said that with the easy way Boko Haram
has been capturing territories in Adamawa, Borno
and Yobe, the three states would soon be
history.
“If the Federal Government does not add
extra effort, in the next two to three
months, the three North-Eastern states will
no longer be in existence. The Federal
Government has tried its best but their best
is not enough because rather than going
after the insurgents, it is the insurgents
that are going after us. It is a big crime
that the criminals are better equipped than
the military and they are just few kilometres
from the Adamawa, Borno and Yobe states
capitals.”
Zanna disclosed that 13 local governments in
Borno, three in Adamawa and others in Yobe are
currently under the control of Boko Haram. He
said, going by intelligence reports, if the Federal
Government did not step up its security
measures the fall of the three states would only
be a matter of days or weeks.
