Boko Haram May Attack Maiduguri, Senator Warns
A serving Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, representing Borno Central at the National Assembly, Ahmed Zannah, on Saturday warned the military to be at alert, saying that the Boko Haram sect may soon attack Borno State.
He noted that the foot-soldiers had relocated from Bama to their Sambisa forest stronghold and might launch a major attack on Maiduguri soon.
According to the senator, since the members of the sect were chased out of the state capital over a year ago, it had always been in their plan to return to recapture it.
The lawmaker hinted that insurgents made away with equipment and machinery from the military barrack in Bama.
He advised the military not to deploy soldiers in Bama to the detriment of the security of Maiduguri.
He said, “At present, there are few insurgents left behind in Bama, by their leaders to continue to terrorise the town. The leaders have left for their hideouts in Sambisa.
“It is believed that those left in Bama are meant to draw the military out of Maiduguri and when they are reclaiming Bama, the large number of insurgents in Sambisa will sneak into Maiduguri to take control of the town”.
He told newsmen that the military needed more men and equipment in the region.
