The Borno State Governor, Babagana Zulum, has alleged that some Nigerian politicians and members of the armed forces are acting as informants and collaborators for Boko Haram insurgents.

Zulum made the revelation on Wednesday during an interview on News Central’s Breakfast Central, where he vowed that the state would strengthen its intelligence network and deal with saboteurs “ruthlessly.”

“We have informants and collaborators within the Nigerian armed forces, within the politicians, and within the communities. What we shall do is to strengthen our intelligence and to deal with them ruthlessly.

“Let’s remove contractocracy. In six months, we can put an end to this madness. We need not politicise insecurity,” he said.

Addressing the issue of surrendered insurgents, Zulum stated that while not all who surrendered have reformed fully, the overwhelming majority are contributing positively.

“I cannot completely say that 100% of those people who have surrendered are doing the right thing, but I want to assure you that over 99% are doing well and are not participating in the ongoing terrorism,” Zulum said

The governor reaffirmed the need for Nigeria to embrace both kinetic and non-kinetic strategies in tackling insurgency, noting that over 99% of repentant insurgents are no longer involved in terrorism.

He stressed that military force alone would never bring about a total end to insurgency.

He stated, “Insurgency will never be ended by kinetic measures alone. We must ensure that the non-kinetic measures are also properly put in place.

“What I mean by non-kinetic measures is social, political, and economic dimensions of the crisis. Our ongoing non-kinetic measures have yielded positive results with the support of the Nigerian military.”

He acknowledged that not all 500,000-plus repentant fighters may stay reformed, but believes the system is largely working.

“Yes, I believe among the 500,000 or more that have repented, I cannot rule out the possibility of fewer of them going back to the bush,” he said.

He criticised the lack of equipment for the military and accused insurgents of having a superior technological advantage, saying “The army doesn’t have the necessary equipment on ground to fight the insurgency.”

The governor, however, commended the Nigerian military’s role in supporting peace-building efforts

“I want to commend the Nigerian armed forces for the support that they have been rendering to our non-kinetic measures,” Zulum said.

He urged President Bola Tinubu to pay attention to ground-level intelligence and professional advice from the military.

“The forest guard shall be provided immediately. The President of Nigeria needs to listen to those who can differentiate their left from their right.

“We should not politicise insecurity. The President needs to listen to the people who can tell him the right thing. The President should listen to the army,” he stated.

Lol. Na today you realize.

Figuring something so simple like that done turn rocket science.

And they will tell you they want to go to space too.

Lol

Oga, you've been saying this for over 6 years now.

Identify and nail them, you're the chief security officer of your state!

Boko Haram informants are everywhere in all those villages in the North-East.

This has been an open secret for long but unfortunately, the government is just getting to realize it

Good morning Gov Zulum

Jonathan said this and he was stoned and crucified!

It's open knowledge.

Why won't you have them among soldiers when you keep recruiting boko haram members into the army and claim they have repented.

The devil will be laughing at Nigeria. After all, Shettima is in charge of security.

That's the problem, they have infiltrated everywhere. Most Northerners are also sympathizers.

Truth is always solemn. You can hide or deny it.

Yes the 'repentant' Boko Haram members you and Buhari absorbed into the army, are now your worst enemies.

They are still in contact with their active BH comrades.

Something wet Prophet MNK don tell una since 19BC na now una dey realise? Imagine it was Peter obi that uttered such words, imagine the backlashes and hateful comments they will heaped on him, especially those from waste.

That's the truth now.

Releasing of terrorists is very sinister and evil, it shows northern leaders are pretending. The release of terrorists is what leads to this surge, they are now emboldened...when there is no deterrence, crime escalate. Confused governor.

The whole North is Boko Haram

He was betrayed.
