Boko Haram would be a child’s play if ISWAP is allowed to grow – Governor Zulum

Governor of Borno state, Babagana Zulum has reiterated the need to clamp down on insecurity as soon as possible. Zulum noted that ISWAP will be more deadly if allowed to grow.

Addressing  journalists in the state on internal security, relocation of IDPs and collaborations between the state and the federal government at the state house in Abuja on Thursday February 3, the Governor admonished the Nigerian Army on the need to restrategise because “what Boko Haram did will be child’s play”.

“I’ve said it before that the growing number of ISWAP in some parts of the state is a matter of great concern to everybody. Where? In the shores of the Lake Chad and in Southern Borno. Luckily, I was told there was military deployment to southern Borno yesterday to fight the insurgency. But I think this is an early warning system,” Zulum said.

“We shouldn’t allow ISWAP to grow. ISWAP is more funded, sophisticated and educated, and we shall do everything possible to defeat ISWAP otherwise, what Boko Haram did will be child’s play.

“The Nigerian Army has to restrategise and defeat ISWAP. ISWAP will be a threat to the entire nation because of the fragility of the south Saharan Africa.”
