The Deputy Governor of Borno state, Zanna Mustapha, while visiting
thousands displaced indigenes in Yola yesterday Monday November 3rd,
said that with the easy way Boko Haram has been capturing territories in
Adamawa, Borno and Yobe, the three states would soon be history.
“If the Federal Government does not add extra effort, in the next two to
three months, the three North-Eastern states will no longer be in
existence. The Federal Government has tried its best but their best is
not enough because rather than going after the insurgents, it is the
insurgents that are going after us. It is a big crime that the criminals
are better equipped than the military and they are just few kilometres
from the Adamawa, Borno and Yobe states capitals.”
Zanna disclosed that 13 local governments in Borno, three in Adamawa and
others in Yobe are currently under the control of Boko Haram. He said,
going by intelligence reports, if the Federal Government did not step up
its security measures the fall of the three states would only be a
matter of days or weeks.
