Borno State Governor, Babagana Zulum, has raised the alarm over the regrouping of Boko Haram insurgents in the Tumbus areas of Lake Chad and the Mandara Hills within the Sambisa Forest in the state.
Zulum lamented what he called a setback in military operations in the state, saying Boko Haram terrorists were freely breeding in Tumbus water areas on the Lake Chad without much effort by the military to dislodge them.
The governor disclosed this in Maiduguri on Friday when the Minister of Defence, Badaru Abubakar; Chief of Defence Staff, Gen. Christopher Musa, and other top military commanders paid him a visit.
Zulum, who acknowledged the efforts of the military in combating the Boko Haram in Borno and the North-East, noted that there had been a resurgence of the terrorists in certain areas, particularly around the Tumbus in Lake Chad and the Mandara Hills in Sambisa Forest.
