 Boko Haram: Information minister naive, says Zulum Governor Babagana Umara Zulum of Borno State has reacted to a news report which suggested that Minister of Information, Mohammed Idris, dismissed the recent concerns he raised regarding the security situation in the state. Zulum had said  Boko Haram has renewed its attacks and kidnappings in the state with little pushback from security forces, suggesting that authorities in the region are losing ground to the insurgents. Zulum stated this during a meeting with security forces in Maiduguri, the Borno State capital, on Tuesday. Daily Trust reports that Boko Haram militants and its offshoot, the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP), have mainly operated in the northeast of Nigeria, attacking security forces and civilians, and killing and displacing tens of thousands of people.

Four Injured As Gunmen Invade Ex-ministerā€™s residence

July 23, 2023

Governor Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa State has condemned the gunmenā€™s attack on the residence of Labaran Maku, a former Minister of Information.

This is contained in a statement signed by Peter Ahemba, senior special assistant to the governor on public affairs, on Sunday in Lafia.

Gunmen had, on Saturday night, forced themselves into the residence of the former minister and, in the process, injured four security personnel.

The criminals, however, escaped when the military promptly arrived at the scene shortly after they were informed.

The governor, who described the incident as unfortunate, said he had directed the police and other security agencies to arrest the criminal elements and ensure they face the full wrath of the law.

Mr Sule reassured residents of the state governmentā€™s readiness to secure the lives and property of the citizens, adding that the general well-being of the people remains a top priority of his administration.

ā€œThe state government is already partnering with the top military command, the police and other paramilitary agencies to ensure that the bandits fleeing from other parts of the country as a result of military onslaughts against them do not have hiding places in Nasarawa State,ā€ he said.

Mr Sule also warned criminal elements operating under whatever guise to desist from the evil acts, insisting that the state has no place to harbour criminals.

The governor, who extended his deepest sympathy to Maku over the unfortunate incident, promised to stem the tides of insecurity in all parts of the state.
