Governor Kashim Shettima of Borno State says he will be going back to Gamboru Ngala in a non-bulletproof vehicle next week despite the recent attack on his convoy by members of Boko Haram’s Islamic State West Africa Province faction. Members of ISWAP had on February 12 attacked the convoy of the governor, who was returning to Maiduguri, the state capital, after he attended a political rally at Gamboru Ngala. I will go back to Gamboru Ngala next week and ready to pay the supreme price if need be and I will not be going in a bulletproof car. Shettima lauded the efforts of President Buhari toward the restoration of peace and order across the northeast part of the country. According to him, there has been significant improvement in the security situation of the northeast in the past four years.
