Gov Zulum: Boko Haram Crisis Not Religious, Affects Both Muslims and Christians

Governor Babagana Zulum of Borno State in Nigeria stated that the Boko Haram crisis is not religious, as it targets both Muslims and Christians. He stressed the importance of addressing the conflict as a general security issue rather than a religious one.

Zulum disclosed efforts to reconstruct, resettle, and rehabilitate victims of insecurity in the state. The ongoing Boko Haram activities in Borno State, despite military operations, continue to pose a threat.

The governor's remarks aim to dispel the misconception of the conflict being religiously motivated.
