On Monday, an explosion occurred in Maiduguri, Borno State, leading to multiple injuries and widespread fear among residents.

He expressed sympathy for the families affected by the incident and wished for a quick recovery for the injured. Zulum advised the community to remain alert and vigilant in their daily activities, especially in crowded areas such as mosques, churches, and markets, to prevent further attacks.

He assured residents that security agencies had already begun investigating the explosion to identify those responsible, promising that arrests would be made, and those behind the attack would face the law.
