Governor Babagana Umara Zulum of Borno State has said those benefiting from the insurgent activities of Boko Haram will not want it to end.
Zulum told the BBC Hausa that some people, whom 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 said success had been recorded in the fight against the insurgency, but decried that Boko Haram members are now making an influx back to the region after being flushed out from Chad.
He appealed to the people to unite and support the security operatives in order to address the Boko Haram menace.
The governor, however, didn’t specifically mention those profiting from the insecurity in the region.
Borno and other northeastern states have been battling for years, in which thousands of people have been killed and displaced.
Despite decimating the activities of the insurgents, the battle against Boko Haram still rages on.
