Borno State Governor Babagana Zulum alleges some politicians and military officers are sabotaging anti-insurgency efforts by collaborating with Boko Haram. He vows to reinforce intelligence and deal ruthlessly with internal informants.
- Zulum claims informants exist within the military, political class, and local communities in Borno.
- The governor stresses non-kinetic solutions alongside military operations to end the insurgency.
- His administration will boost intelligence and crack down on collaborators sabotaging peace efforts.
Zulum’s comments reflect mounting frustration among citizens and leaders over the protracted Boko Haram crisis. With over 300,000 “repentant” insurgents, many residents remain skeptical and fear the cycle of violence may continue.
Will strengthening intelligence and adopting non-military strategies finally end the insurgency in the North-East? As the fight against terrorism evolves, accountability among all stakeholders is crucial for lasting peace.
