Gov Sule: Boko Haram regroups at Nasarawa/Benue border
Governor of Nasarawa State, Abdullahi Sule, has alerted to the regrouping of Boko Haram terrorists along the Benue/Nasarawa border, close to the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.
The governor called for an urgent intervention of President Muhammadu Buhari to flush out the insurgents from the area.
Sule stated this when he spoke with State House correspondents after a closed-door meeting with President Buhari at the State House, Abuja, on Friday.
He said the terrorists that were dislodged from the Toto Local Government Area of the state had regrouped at the Nasarawa/Benue border from where they were causing havoc.
Sule also said some of the Boko Haram elements in Nasarawa State belonged to the Darussalam group dislodged from Niger.
“I have come to see the leader of our party and the leader of the nation, Mr President, to brief him about some the activities happening in the state.
“First, especially in the area of security – that we continue to have challenges with a team of Boko Haram who were settled at the border with the FCT.
“And, we thank the security forces that they had been able to dislodge them. But now they have gone back and gathered at our border with Benue, and they are causing a lot of havoc.
“Therefore, it was an opportunity as Mr President wanted to know. So, I briefed him and I strongly believe, just like the decision was taken last time, to take care of this.”
Governor Sule said he also updated the President on other socio-economic issues including the possible Federal Government takeover of the construction work on Jitata road.
The road serves as an alternative route from the state to the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
He said, when completed, the road would open up the area for development as well as reduce traffic jams being experienced along the Abuja-Keffi-Lafia road.
