Borno State Governor Babagana Zulum has condemned the recent Boko Haram and ISWAP attacks in several parts of the state, encouraging citizens to be resilient and pray.

The governor expressed sympathy for the victims and reaffirmed the state government’s commitment to collaborating closely with the federal government, military, and other security agencies to address the security issues in a statement issued on Tuesday by his spokesperson, Dauda Illiya.

According to the statement, Zulum also sent his sincere condolences to the families of all those impacted by the sorrowful events, which included an IED attack on the Maiduguri-Damboa Road.

“These acts of terror are deeply condemnable. The recent tragic loss of our education staff, gallant troops, and innocent civilians is a painful reminder of the challenges we continue to face,” he added
