Borno attack: Zulum meets families of killed security operatives

Governor Babagana Zulum of Borno State has met with families of policemen and members of the Civilian Joint Task Force killed by insurgents in an ambush on Friday in the state.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that many security operatives were killed with some injured when the governor’s backup convoy was attacked along Baga–Monguno road.
A statement by the Special Adviser, Media and Strategy, Malam Isa Gusau, said Zulum had on Monday met with the bereaved families of fallen policemen at the police headquarters in Maiduguri, where he promised to assist them.
“It is very unfortunate that the incident happened. May Almighty God in his infinite mercy forgive and reward them for their sacrifices and may God grant you the strength to bear the fortitude of this huge loss that is for all of us.
“It is so sad, looking at what happened. It is quite unfortunate and I am pained by that incident.
“However, those men died as heroes, as patriots, and as people that have brought honour to their families even though we never wished that it happened.
“We shall do everything possible to support the families. The education of their children is very important in addition to the support for their means of livelihood.
“I condole with the Borno state police command, the CP, the Inspector General of Police, the Nigeria Police Force and entire Nigerians over the sad moment,” Zulum was quoted as saying.
The governor was also at the state specialist hospital in Maiduguri where he consoled with those injured in the attack.
