 Borno State Governor, Prof Zulum Condemns Suicide Bomb Blast In Gamboru Market


Borno State Governor, Professor Babagana Umara Zulum has condemned, in  strong terms, a suicide attack at Gomboru market mosque in Maiduguri metropolis on Wednesday evening.

Professor Zulum extends his condolences to the families of all those that lost their lives in the attack and prays for the repose of their souls and for the speedy recovery of those injured.


The Governor assured that adequate measures have been taken to forestall any security breach during the festive period and beyond.
