BEHOLD! PHOTONEWS: #BringBackOurGirls- Chibok High School Girls Who Escaped From BOKO HARAM Abductors Visit Borno State Governor
Nigerians are ASKING: How did they trek 130 kms from Sambisa without being noticed by drones, 20,000 soldiers, and thousands of other lookout eyes in scores of checkpoints, to the governors office in Maiduguri?
Shettima attends emir’s burial with 150 soldiers • Emirs absent
(Yet he could not provide even 50 soldiers to protect the Chibok girls during their exams)
BORNO State governor, Kashim Shettima, left Maiduguri, the state capital, amid tight security, powered by a combined force of about 150 soldiers of the 7 Division, Nigerian Army, Maiduguri; the police special squad and the Civilian JTF, through the 135km deserted Maiduguri-Bama Road to attend the burial of the Emir of Gwoza, Alhaji Shehu Mustapha Idris Timta, on Sunday.
The late emir, who was killed by Boko Haram gunmen on Friday, was buried on Sunday in his domain amid tears.
Though the first class traditional ruler was killed while on his way to attend the burial of the Emir of Gombe, Alhaji Shehu Abubakar, none of his colleagues from within and outside the state was able to attend his interment, due to unpredictable security situation on the way and around Gwoza town.
Shettima was also accompanied by his deputy, Zanna Mustapha and Senator Muhammed Ali Ndume, who is from Gwoza, leading other state government functionaries to attend the burial.
Though Gwoza was badly affected by the ongoing Boko Haram conflict that sacked many communities in the area, the burial was well attended.
The crowded Islamic funeral was led by the Chief Imam of Gwoza, Alhaji Ibrahim Ahmad Bamanga.
Governor Shettima, who battled to control his tears as he delivered his tribute and condolences, described the late Shehu Timta as “a man who spent better part of his reign preaching peace and tolerance.
