Governor Zulum Claims Some People Profit from Boko Haram Insurgency
Borno State Governor, Professor Babagana Zulum, has alleged that certain individuals are benefiting financially from the prolonged insurgency caused by Boko Haram and are reluctant to see it end.
In an interview with BBC Hausa, the governor lamented how these individuals, who profit from the crisis in the Northeast and neighboring Chad, are hindering efforts to combat the insurgency.
“There are people who don’t want this insecurity to end because they will not be happy with that,” Zulum stated.
While acknowledging progress in the fight against the insurgents, he expressed concern about the resurgence of Boko Haram fighters who have returned to the region after being driven out of Chad.
Zulum called for unity among citizens and urged them to support security agencies to tackle the menace effectively. However, the governor refrained from naming those allegedly profiting from the crisis.
