BY INUWA BWALA So many questions crossed my mind immediately on receiving the news of the second ambush on the convoy of Borno State Governor, Professor Babagana Umara Zulum. Besides my personal worries for his safety and the likely triumph by the insurgents over his territory, I was confused as to what is really happening. The first and most obvious question that came to my mind was, whether it was a sabotage to his efforts in trying to resettle displaced people back to their ancestral abodes, and if that is the case, then, who could be behind the sabotage and for what benefits?
Secondly, is it that he is not being given the correct information on the situation on ground? Again, why is he being given wrong intelligence as chief security officer? Why are such attacks coming from a particular axis, or is there something somebody is trying to conceal from him in Baga, and or is it a fallacy that the terrorists have been dislodged?
