Borno State Governor, Babagana Zulum in an interview on Channels Tv , spoke about the Zabarmari Massacre and the rescue of the remaining Chibok Girls.
Zulum stated the following;
“As of now, because of the impact made by the people and the Nigerian military, the people of Zabarmari are free to go to their farmlands”.
“We are yet to ascertain the total figures of those affected by the massacre. But, as of now, they are about 43. The government will soon come up with modalities to ensure the families are well taken care of”.
“Between 2015 till date, we have started witnessing the gradual return of peace in Borno…but notwithstanding, we have certain challenges in the precinct of the Lake Chad, Sambisa Lake Reserves, and in the Mandara Hills.”
“The difficult situation we are in now is accessibility. Most of the local government headquarters are now accessible. But we want to ensure people have access to their means of livelihood, to go to their farmlands.”
