The tragic incident, caused by an Improvised Explosive Device (IED), claimed the lives of eight individuals and left 21 others injured on Saturday. The explosion targeted civilian vehicles traveling the busy route.

According to reports, 14 of the injured victims suffered severe injuries, while seven sustained minor wounds and are currently receiving medical care at the State Specialist Hospital in Maiduguri.

During a visit to the hospital, Governor Zulum expressed deep sorrow over the attack, particularly noting that Borno had experienced over a year of respite from IED-related incidents.

“This is truly unfortunate. We’ve not had an IED explosion in more than a year,” Zulum remarked. He also mentioned that the affected road had been closed for about a month before the attack.

The governor extended his condolences to the families of those who lost their lives and called on the Nigerian military and other security agencies to intensify surveillance and patrols on the highway to prevent further tragedies.

He also emphasized his administration’s commitment to bolstering local security mechanisms, particularly by supporting the Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF) and community youth volunteers actively involved in counter-insurgency efforts.

Additionally, Zulum referenced a recent meeting with military leadership in Abuja, where the resurgence of Boko Haram in Borno was discussed in detail. He expressed optimism about the outcome of the meeting, noting that assurances were given by the service chiefs to contain the threat.

“Our conversations with the military chiefs were constructive. We raised concerns about the renewed Boko Haram activities, and they pledged their full support to address the situation,” he said.

Despite possessing what he considers the superior candidate, Baba-Ahmed explained why the party is actively championing a broader political alliance:

  • Consensus Over Ego: The PRP chairman emphasized that the party’s push for a mega-coalition is driven by consensus and constitutional processes rather than forcing Duke’s candidacy through on profile strength alone.
