 The governor of Borno State, Baba Ghanah Zulam, has raised alarm that Abaddam and Guzumala local government areas of the state are still under the control of the Boko Haram sect. The governor stated this when Chairman, Senate Committee on Army, Senator Muhammad Ali Ndume, led other senators, including military officers from the army headquarters, on a cut-see call to him. Zulam said there was a gradual return of peace, but more needed to be done. He commended the military and other paramilitary personnel for their gallant efforts to see to the end of terrorism in the north-east part of the country. But he added that he received a security report that in some communities of Amanda-Gidwal axis in Buu local government area, over 500 Boko Haram eastwap groups had been converging with over 300 motorcycles and even celebrating parties and marriages amongst themselves without confrontation.
