Deputy Governor of Borno State warns That Boko Haram Can Overrun North-Eastern States
The Deputy Governor of Borno State, Alhaji Zanna Mustapha, has warned that the entire North-eastern part of the country may be hijacked by the Boko Haram sect soon if the Federal Government doesn’t curb the activities of the Boko Haram sect.
Mustapha, who was speaking at the Government House in Yola, Adamawa state, disclosed that the governments of Adamawa, Borno and Yobe states had warned the federal government to about this over time.
“With the effrontery of the insurgents, who seem to be capturing territories with ease, very soon, the three north eastern states will become history if urgent steps are not taken to address the situation.
“If the Federal Government will not add extra efforts, in the next three months, the three North-East states will not be in existence.
“Rather than going after the insurgents, it is the insurgents that are going after us.”
