Deputy governor of Borno state, Alhaji Zanna Umar Mustapha has noted that the current tempo of the Boko Haram group in Borno, Adamawa and Yobe states would see the sect taking full control in the next few months if the FG doesn't intervene.
He said this in Yola on Monday while visiting displaced Borno indigenes from Mubi.
Zannah said: “If the Federal Government does not add extra effort, in the next two to three months, the three North-Eastern states will no longer be in existence.
“The Federal Government has tried its best but their best is not enough, because rather than going after the insurgents, it is the insurgents that are going after us. It is a big crime that the criminals are better equipped than the military and they are just few kilometres from the Adamawa, Borno and Yobe states capitals.”
He revealed that 13 local governments in Borno, 3 in Adamawa and others in Yobe were right now under the sway of Boko Haram.
He said his intelligence reports have shown that the fall of the three states will be in a matter of days or weeks if they are left unopposed.
