As a result, he reiterated his administration’s and the people of Yobe State’s support for all security agencies in the state.
Meanwhile, Governor Buni has urged people to remain hopeful about the large repentance of some Boko Haram militants in Borno State.
“We should all pray that the repentance is for real and is the begining of the end of insurgency in Nigeria”, he prayed.
