Gov Babagana Zulum of Borno State has alleged that some people do not want the nefarious activities of Boko Haram to end because they are benefitting from it.
The governor, who disclosed this in an interview with BBC Hausa, lamented how some people, whom he claimed were profiting from the Boko Haram insurgency in the Northeast region and Chad, were scuttling the fight against it.
“There are people who don’t want this insecurity to end because they will not be happy with that,” he said.
The governor, who noted that success had been recorded in the fight against the insurgency, decried that Boko Haram members are now making influx back to the region after being flushed out from Chad.
He called on people to unite and support the security operatives in order to address the Boko Haram menace.
The governor, however, didn’t specifically mention those profiting from the insecurity in the region.
