“No community has been displaced in the last four years and under no circumstances will we allow Boko Haram to displace anyone again,” Governor Zulum declared after the meeting.

He downplayed the terrorists’ strength, calling them “weak and seeking cheap popularity.”

Governor Zulum expressed confidence in the military’s ability to handle the situation, citing the strong presence in Baga and Cross-Kauwa, where he confirmed discussions with the Theatre Commander, Brigade Commander, and Sector Commander.
