Borno state governor, Kashim Shettima, has faulted claims by Senator
Kaka Garbai representing Borno Central in the senate, that most of the
Local governments areas in the state are still in the control of Boko
Haram members. While speaking to newsmen after a condolence visit to
Dalori community over the weekend, Garbai said;
"From my count, only three local government are fully liberated, 21
local governments partially occupied by insurgents, that is there is
still some level of Boko Haram occupation side by side the military or
any other constituted authority".
Reacting to this, the state Governor, Kashim Shettima, said the
statement credit to Garbai was either as a result of emotional outburst
or he was misquoted. Kashim said this while speaking to newsmen after
he returned from Saudi Arabia yesterday February 8th
“It is either the senator was emotional or misquoted. The military has
recorded tremendous successes in the fight against Boko Haram in the
last six months. You know Ngala, Dikwa and some areas were recently
liberated and as the chief security officer of the state, I can
confidently say Boko Haram has been decimated, demoralised and degraded.
Borno is better off than it was six months ago.”he said
