Boko Haram terrorists have killed at least nine people and injured no fewer four others at Malamfatori in the Abadam Local Government Area of Borno State.
This was contained in a statement by the state government on Saturday.
Babagana Zulum commiserated with the families of the victims of the attack and made cash donations to them.
“We are here at the instance of His Excellency, Governor Babagana Umara Zulum, who is out of the country on an official assignment to condole with the people of Malam Fatori over the recent unfortunate attack. He assured that the Borno State government and the military will do everything possible to secure the town,” his representative said.
According to Zulum, Malam Fatori is one local government area that the government is committed to ensuring its stability because of its strategic importance, urging the people to be more resilient and prayerful to avert future incidents.
The Governor, who was represented by the Commissioner for Local Government and Emirate Affairs, Sugun Mele, applauded the military for their commitment and gallantry.
He also announced the deployment of excavators to dig trenches around the local government headquarters to fortify the town from further attacks by Boko Haram/ISWAP groups.
