We’ll hunt you down, Zulum warns terrorists’ informants
**Borno Governor Warns Informants and Sympathizers of Boko Haram** In a state-wide broadcast on Thursday, Governor Babagana Umara Zulum of Borno State warned those who provide information, shelter, and logistical support to Boko Haram terrorists that they will be hunted down and face the full wrath of the law. According to Zulum, the recent surge in terrorist attacks in parts of the state is a direct consequence of the sustained and aggressive military operations across the region. He attributed the spike in attacks to the actions of informants and sympathizers who provide support to the terrorists. **"To those who feed them with information, shelter them and their sympathisers, and provide logistical support, your time is up,"** Zulum said. **"You are not patriots; you are enemies of the state. You will be hunted down and made to face the full wrath of the law."** The governor expressed concern over the recent resurgence of insecurity in parts of the state, stating that the situation is deeply concerning. However, he assured the public that the overall security environment remains under control, and efforts are being made to protect lives and property. Zulum highlighted the state's efforts to restore peace and prosperity over the past seven years, citing the successful combination of consultations, collective planning, and strong support from security agencies and the civilian JTF. He acknowledged that the decrease in past attacks does not signal the end of the insurgency, and more needs to be done to address the root of the issue. The governor extended his sympathies to the families of soldiers, security personnel, and volunteer forces who have lost their lives in the line of duty. He also expressed his appreciation for the support of Vice President Kashim Shettima, who represented the President during a sympathy visit. As the state approaches the 2027 political season, Zulum appealed to the people to pray for a worthy successor, emphasizing that it is God who gives power.
