He sympathized with the families of those who lost their lives and assured that the state government would strengthen collaboration with military and other security operatives to enhance the safety of the people.

“This is very unfortunate for what has happened in Gwoza town, it came when we are celebrating the exist of the Boko Haram insurgency in Borno State, we witnessed series of suicide attacks in Gwoza.

“And I believe it is an act of sabotage at this time because we are looking forward to seeing how we shall resettle people back to their communities, and I think some don’t like the resettlement agenda of Borno State.

“I want to appeal to the people of Gwoza to remain calm and be law abiding by a partner with the state government with a view to ensure that IDPs are resettled to ancestral homes,”he said.

Zulum also appealed to people who should be patient of the current economic hardship, saying it is not peculiar to the state alone.
