The traditional ruler stated this during a town hall meeting organised by Yateem Faqeer Global Foundation in Abuja on Thursday.He, however, commended the Federal Government for the successes recorded in the fight against terrorism; noting that the authorities have reclaimed the 17 Local Government Areas in Borno which were hitherto under the control of Boko Haram insurgents before President Muhammadu Buhari took over power in 2015.
“Honestly, we have suffered; the people have suffered. The palaces of our Emirs were destroyed; some of them were killed including other traditional rulers, religious leaders and district heads, and so many other people were killed. The Northeast has so many problems. But, before we had this administration, out of the 27 local governments in Borno, 17 were under the control of Boko Haram. But now, not any local government in Borno is under the control of Boko Haram.
Kazir explained, “The terrorists or the insurgents are very smart. When they find it difficult to operate in a particular place, they will look for softer ground. Now don’t forget, those operating in the Northeast may not be the same people as those operating elsewhere. Don’t forget, when Boko Haram started, they were not kidnapping people for ransom. They were kidnapping people to convert them for their own purposes. Later on, the issue of kidnapping for ransom. reared its ugly head.
