The governor of Borno State, Babagana Zulum, has announced that 74 homes have been displaced, five persons have been killed, and two others have been injured in recent terrorist attacks on villages in the Chibok Local Government Area.

According to a statement released by Prof. Usman Tar, the Commissioner for Information and Internal Security, Zulum made this known at a security council meeting on Friday.

The governor voiced alarm over the extent of the insurgents’ devastation.

He said, “five churches, market stalls, and properties worth millions of naira were destroyed during the attacks on Bamzir, Njilang, Shikarkir, and Yimirmugza villages.”

Zulum condemned the terrorism in the Borno South Senatorial District, calling for military action to address the threat.

“There is a firm grip on the security space by our gallant forces, but some areas require enhanced tactical measures to address existing gaps,” he said.

“The terrorists are attempting to derail our progress, but we will not let them succeed,” he said.

The governor assured residents that his administration was working closely with security agencies to strengthen military operations in the region.

“We are shifting strategies from a defensive to an offensive posture,” he said.

Zulum also called on communities to remain united and resilient, urging residents to work together in the face of threats.
