Beneficiaries of Boko Haram insurgency don’t want it to end – Zulum
Prof. Babagana Zulum, the Borno state governor, has alleged that some people are benefiting from the insurgent activities of Boko Haram and will not want it to end.
The governor, however, didn’t specifically mention those profiting from the insecurity in the region.
Zulum, in an interview with BBC Hausa, lamented those who he claimed were profiting from the Boko Haram insurgency in the Northeast region and Chad, were scuttling the fight against it.

He said, “There are people who don’t want this insecurity to end because they will not be happy with that.”
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 while calling on people to unite and support the security operatives to address the Boko Haram menace.
Boko Haram insurgency, which Borno and other northeastern states have been battling for years, has claimed the lives of thousands of people and displaced several others.
Although the terrorists’ activities have been decimated to some extent in recent years, the fight against Boko Haram has yet to end.
