‘We Have To Fortify Maiduguri Town’: Zulum Reacts To Rocket Attacks

Borno State Governor, Babagana Zulum, on Saturday visited persons affected by a rocket

attack carried out by Boko Haram/ISWAP terrorists in Maiduguri.

The army had earlier said there was no need to panic as it had the situation under control.

Although no life was reported lost, houses, cars, and other properties were destroyed by the

multiple rockets attack.

Commenting during the visit, Zulum noted that the insurgents came close to Maiduguri before

firing the explosives.

He urged the military to wake up and ensure adequate patrols.

“It seems the insurgents came very close to the town, the military has to wake up and ensure adequate surveillance. This is something that we can avert its occurrence. For the insurgents to have come such close to fire rockets, I think there is something wrong that we should have

to check.” Zulum said.

The Governor, however, assured that government will do everything to prevent further attacks

on Maiduguri and its environs.

“We have to fortify Maiduguri town, we have to ensure adequate patrols on a daily basis to avert future attacks. It is very sad and unfortunate we have to witness this kind of attack at this

time,” Zulum said.

In the same vein, Governor Babagana Umara Zulum extended his sympathizes to those

affected by the attack.

Our correspondent reported that while no life was lost, houses, cars, and other properties were

destroyed by the multiple rockets attack.

“I wish to sympathize with those affected by today’s attack, I will constitute a small committee

to ascertain the level of the damage and advise government on how to avert future occurrence;zulum Zulum said.
