Zulum Pledges ₦50,000 for Soldiers Deploying to Boko Haram-Hit Borno Communities

Borno State Governor Babagana Umara Zulum has pledged ₦50,000 for each soldier preparing to deploy to Maiwa and Koshebe villages to strengthen security. He made the announcement during a visit to the 24 Task Force Brigade headquarters in Dikwa, where he met with the brigade commander, Brigadier General Aminu Gumel. Koshebe was the site of a Boko Haram attack on rice farmers and farm workers in November 2020 that killed 100 people. Zulum said the deployment would help protect the communities and improve security along the Maiduguri–Mafa–Dikwa–Ngala highway. He also pledged continued logistical support for military operations and improved welfare for personnel, saying residents need to travel safely, trade and rebuild their livelihoods.
