Zulum to Borno Communities: Be ready to defend yourselves against Boko Haram, no development without security
By Kayode Sanni-Arewa
Gov. Babagana Zulum has urged members of communities affected by insecurity in Southern Borno to always be ready to stand and defend themselves against any insurgents group.
“You cannot gain victory over Boko Haram unless you as the indigenous people in the areas stand to defend yourselves”, Zulum said during his four-day working tour of five Local Government Areas (LGAs) in Borno South on Tuesday.
“You have to defend yourselves and this is very important,” he said
However, the Governor also called for the creation of a Brigade Command in Southern Borno to combat the lingering insecurity in some villages around the region.
Zulum said that the call for the establishment of Brigade Command is the best option in tackling the lingering insecurity in the state.
”Traditional rulers and local government chairmen in most of the places I visited, reechoed this call.
“Yes, these are the most volatile areas in the region, especially Dile, Lasa, among others where there is serious security problems.
“The necessity of security and development cannot be overemphasised. It is only when there is security that there will be development,” he said.
The problem of insecurity in those areas, Zulum said, has been lingering for a while.
