Boko Haram insurgency: Borno gets new Army Commander

Borno State Governor, Zulum, has received the new Army commander in Borno.
OnyxNews Nigeria reports that Borno State Governor, Babagana Zulum, on Thursday received the new Army commander in Borno.
The state government made this public in a statement through its official Facebook page.
The statement read: “Zulum received the new Garrison Commander 7 Division, Nigerian Army. He was accompanied by the outgoing Garrison Commander, Brigadier General Sunday Igbinomwanhia.”
“The Governor has presented a souvenir to the outgoing Garrison Commander, Brigadier General Sunday Igbinomwanhia in appreciation of his service to Borno State,” the statement read.
The development came days after Zulum sent an SOS on the security situation in Borno State to President Muhammadu Buhari.
Zulum insisted that there was sabotage in the system.
He warned that this was slowing down the defeat of Boko Haram.
Zulum spoke on Sunday when his counterparts from Kebbi and Jigawa, Atiku Bagudu and Badaru Abubakar, paid him a visit after the Baga attack.
“I earlier said that the gravity of the insurgency cannot be compared with what has happened between 2011 to 2015, and 2015 to date.”
Noting that Buhari has done well, the governor said: “But there’s sabotage in the system that will not allow insurgency to end.”
