Zulum Refutes Claims of Arresting 'Tinubu Must Go' Protesters
Borno State Governor Babagana Zulum has denied allegations that he ordered the arrest of "Tinubu Must Go" protesters. His clarification came after the African Democratic Congress (ADC) demanded an explanation regarding a viral video in which he purportedly made such a directive.
Zulum emphasized that his comments were aimed at addressing criminal activities threatening the state's peace, particularly referencing young men wearing violent imagery on their clothing. His spokesman, Dauda Iliya, criticized the ADC's statement as "unprofessional" and a misrepresentation of the governor's remarks.
Zulum's comments were made during a media chat in Maiduguri, where he discussed the rise in social vices and crimes in Borno State, including gangsterism and kidnapping. He noted that the state government has established an Anti-Vices security outfit to combat these issues, which has reportedly led to a decrease in criminal activity in Maiduguri and its surroundings.
