Governor Babagana Zulum has pledged his administration’s commitment to securing all the border communities against Boko Haram and Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) terrorism and protecting lives and property in Borno State.

According to him, the vulnerable border communities, which are within Cameroon, Chad and Niger, were severely attacked by insurgents between 2014 and 2025.

Zulum pledged at the weekend when he paid a confidence and resilience-building visit to the displaced persons of Ngoshe, who are currently taking refuge in Pulka.

Ngoshe, a border community with Cameroon in Gwoza Local Government Area, was attacked on March 4, 2026, forcing several residents to flee for safety in the adjoining bushes and hills.

This is the second time the governor has visited victims of the Boko Haram attacks in Ngoshe, stating, “I am deeply disturbed
about the worsening security situation not only in Gwoza, but also in the entire state.”

Besides, troops of Operation Hadin Kai (OPHK) firmly dominated Ngoshe and Gwoza areas of the state and effectively countered terrorist propaganda and ensured a peaceful Eid-el-Fitr celebration on the axis.

Acting Director Army Public Relations, Col. Appolonia Anele, in a statement yesterday, recalled that on the night of March 3 to March 4, 2026, terrorists attacked Ngoshe, a rural community in Gwoza Local Government Area, torching a military base, burning buildings and vehicles, as well as attacking civilians after they broke their Ramadan fast.
