Nigeria - Borno State governor, Kashim Shettima, has made a shocking revelation about the state of the Boko Haram insurgency in the state, Sahara Reporters say.

“They(Boko Haram) are at present controlling two local governments in Borno State; Abadam and Mobbar and they are partially in Marte.” he said in a brief meeting with Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) Mr. Babachir David Lawal.

"At some point, Boko Haram overran 20 out of our 27 local government areas in Borno State. They overran four local government areas in Adamawa and two in Yobe.”

However Lt. Gen Buratai, the chief of army staff has disputed Shettima’s claim.

“No Boko Haram is holding any territory in Nigeria at the momment, I have not heard any Boko Haram member or leader making such claim, they are no more in control,”, Buratai said on Monday at the Headquarters of 3 Division, the Marxwel Khobe Cantonment.

“We are more determined and we have more professional soldiers on the ground, we have been trained and equipped and ready to face the challenge, if any, posed by Boko Haram”, he added.

Shettima had once incurred the wrath of the military when he said the Nigerian military was ill-equipped to fight the Boko Haram insurgents. He was abused in return.

However months after top military brass admitted he was correct.

If they like, let them control 700 LGA.
They are not ashamed of giving us the same news update every day. This is as if boko haram has started their domination from the beginning.

That means na dem be the governor, not you

Who cares if Boko haram takes over Daura? Buhari is more concerned with Rivers state politics than with National security.

So During Jonathan's rule Boko Haram were controlling 20 out of 27 LGs in Borno state, 4 in Adamawa, and 2 in Yobe and in less than 6 months they have Been reduced to 2 (assuming Shettima is correct) yet some clowns will be screaming Propaganda! Thank God the Clueless one have left, Oga Buratai should forget the talk and do the work, actions speak louder. We all know you are trying but we need more effort. Thank You

There they go again. they keep lying on top of their lies

Useless Change Government.
