Worried by the renewed suicide attacks across the State by suspected Boko Haram terrorists, Borno State Governor, Kashim Shettima has called on the military and other security agencies to go after anyone factually discovered to be supporting Boko Haram including any of his
children.

Shettima who spoke in a state wide broadcast morning emphatically said those who associate with Boko Haram were enemies of humanity and the state in particular, while calling on the good people of the state to support security agencies to ensuring that the insurgents are defeated head-on, while stressing that majority of Borno people are good people working against the insurgents.

Shettima who is particularly disturbed over suicide bombings in the last couple of days across the state noted that, the recent resort to cowardly suicide attacks on soft civilian targets as signs of defeats and weakness that the insurgents are exhibiting to prove to their fellow terrorists across the world that they are still not defeated.

He called on the people of the state to take the security of the state in their hands by stepping up surveillance in their neighborhood and continue to remain vigilant by reporting any suspicious person to security agencies.

In fact, they have failed in their mission because together, we have said no to them. And in saying NO, we must not let them cause us any more harm,” Shettima assured.

On his part as a government, the Governor said the Government of Borno State will continue to provide the necessary support to our gallant military and security agencies and volunteers in their patriotic effort to restore peace and security in our ancestral land.

He expressed gratitude to international and local humanitarian agencies and development partners for supporting the people of the State while also consoling with families whose members were either killed, abducted or injured and those who lost property expressing determination that Borno will bounce back stronger.
