• Naijanews • General News
Borno State Governor Babagana Zulum addressed the closure of Jilli Market five years ago, attributing the decision to credible intelligence that linked the market to insurgent activities. His remarks followed a recent attack that reportedly claimed 50 lives. In a statement issued on Sunday, Zulum highlighted the importance of collaboration with military and security agencies to ensure the safety of the community. He indicated that the state government is considering reopening the market to facilitate the resettlement of communities affected by conflict. However, he warned residents against providing logistical support to Boko Haram elements, stressing that such actions undermine ongoing peace restoration efforts. Zulum reaffirmed the government's commitment to protecting law-abiding citizens and urged the community to remain vigilant and support military operations by providing credible information. The governor's statements reflect a broader strategy to achieve peace and stability in Borno State.
