Maiduguri Flood: Boko Haram leaders may have escaped prison – Gov Zulum
Governor Babagana Zulum of Borno State has expressed worry that some Boko Haram leaders might have escaped from prison during the heavy flooding in Maiduguri.
He affirmed this during an interview with the BBC when he was asked if he was worried that some Boko Haram leaders might have escaped due to the flooding.
Recall that Maiduguri and some neighbouring towns were submerged by flood caused by the overflow of the Ngadda River.
Properties worth millions of naira and lives have been lost due to the heavy flooding.
There were also reports that some prison inmates were evacuated and that some of them escaped due to the flooding.
Zulum said in the interview, “I’m worried, yes, I’m seriously worried. But you also have to bear in mind that the Borno State Government has established what we call the Borno Model of Rehabilitation which has allowed many insurgents to repent.
“Within the last two years, over 200,000 Boko Haram members and their families have repented and I think, this has also yielded positive results in ensuring the return of peace and stability to Borno State.”
