In a recent address, Borno State Governor Babagana Zulum condemned individuals and organizations that provide support or shelter to terrorists, labeling them as enemies of the state. He stated that their actions undermine the safety and security of the region and promised that those found guilty would face the law. Zulum expressed his deep concern over the recent violence in the state, which he described as a setback to the collective peace efforts made over the past years.

Governor Zulum emphasized the state's commitment to restoring peace and stability after years of conflict and terrorism. Over the last seven years, his administration has made significant strides in rebuilding the state and helping communities regain hope and resilience. He acknowledged the challenges posed by ongoing hostilities but reiterated his government's determination to curb the resurgence of insecurity by taking firm action against those who assist terrorists in any capacity.

The governor’s pronouncement follows increasing reports of insecurity in Borno, where the fight against Boko Haram has been ongoing for over a decade. His firm stance aims to galvanize community support in the fight against terrorism and encourage citizens to report suspicious activities. The implications of such a crackdown on informants could significantly affect the local dynamics of community safety and the ongoing struggle for peace in the affected regions.
