Buhari Accuses Borno Residents Of Aiding Boko Haram

By Chuks Ekpeneru

President Muhammadu Buhari has accused some residents of Borno State of aiding and abetting Boko Haram insurgents.

Buhari during a visit to the State said factions of the terrorist groups cannot carry out attacks on the people without the support of some of the locals.

Buhari was in Maiduguri to sympathise with the government and people of the state over the Boko Haram attacks which claimed many lives at Auno in Konduga Local Government Area.

According to the President, “Boko Haram or whatever they are cannot come to Maiduguri or its environs without the local leadership knowing, the local leadership is in charge of security in their own respective areas.

“With my understanding of our culture, I wonder how Boko Haram survives up to this end.

“As the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, I campaigned in 2015 and last year on three fundamental issues which include security as you cannot preside over an institution or a country if it is not secured.

“We are working for you in this country; as Commander-in-Chief, I am dealing with the security institutions and I believe there is an improvement in security.

“I urge the people of the state to cooperate with the law enforcement agencies; let us deny Boko Haram access to our loyal citizens and encourage displaced people to go back to their land.”
