 Political elements, military personnel benefiting from insurgency in Borno — Gov. Zulum


Governor Babagana Zulum of Borno State has revealed that certain individuals are benefiting from the ongoing insurgency in the state.


Speaking in an interview with Channels Television on Sunday, Zulum disclosed that the sponsors of insurgency have no interest in seeing the crisis come to an end.


The governor further explained that these beneficiaries are not just limited to Borno State but are spread across different parts of the country, cutting across all levels of society, from civilians to military personnel.


“Among the population. I cannot say who; we still have some people who don’t want to see the end of this crisis. They are benefiting from it, not only civilians; it cuts across all strata.


“Many times informants were arrested within the community; many times military personnel were arrested for trying to provide ammunition to the insurgents,” he said.


Zulum added that there is a high level of foreign intrusion in the state, which aids the activities of insurgents.


“The porosity of our borders, the fringes of Lake Chad, the Sambisa game reserve, make safe havens for terrorists,” he said.
