The governor while addressing the volunteers, who were gathered at the campus of Borno State University, Maiduguri, said, “I assure you that insha’Allah, all of those who died in the Civilian JTF, groups of hunters and vigilantes did not die in vain.

“Bisimillah, they have all died for the causes of saving humanity and we pray that Allah grants them His eternal mercy and admit them into aljanna firdaus.”
