A source within the government of Yobe State has told SaharaReporters that Governor Ibrahim Gaidam had moved his family out of Damaturu, capital of Yobe State, to an unknown location. The source said the governor’s decision to relocate his family was informed by Boko Haram’s widening insurgency and terrorism in the state.
A security source in the state also revealed that the governor had adopted extraordinary security measures to insulate himself as wellas members of his close family from the violent activities of the militant Islamist group.
The state governor earlier decided that Yobe State should not have any official activities linked to “the Governor’s Wife’s Office.” It is a common practice in most states to create a formal office for the governors’ wives, complete with programs and high-profile activities.
Governor Gaidam’s spokesman, Abdullahi Bego, recently went on radio to deny that the governor had moved his family. Even so, Mr. Bego could not explain the whereabouts of the governor’s family. Nor did he affirm that they were still in Damaturu, the state capital.Our source insisted that the First Family had been moved.
A top opposition politician in the state, who asked for anonymity, criticized the governor for moving his family to a safe place even asBoko Haram continues to make the lives of other residents miserable.
“It is a bad omen for the governor to hide his family somewhere when he has been pleading with others not to flee the state.”http://saharareporters.com/news-page/boko-haram-yobe-governor-reportedly-moves-family-out-damaturu

So his family members were still in Nigeria. Now that Boko Haram has overgrown them,he really need to run with their family. They started what they cope with.

His family has the freedom to reside in any part of the country sha, but that will equally increase d feeling of insecurity amongst the ordinary citizens and give more gutts to the boko boys. Next thing is for the Governor himself to leave the state...then Boko haram will then declare victory for 'capturing yobe state' with all that would follow.
