Yobe State Governor Ibrahim Gaidam has appealed to the residents of the areas recently attacked by Boko Haram not to run away from their communities.
According to him, the state government has intensified efforts to ensure that people are safe in the state.
The governor, in a statement by his Director-General for Media Affairs, Abdullahi Bego, said the call became necessary following reports that the victims of the recent attacks in Kuka Reta, Katarko and Bunigari towns were fleeing the areas.
He disclosed that he had been briefed by the heads of security agencies about the moves being made to address any threat to security in the state.
The statement said, “The Yobe State Government, therefore, assures the public to remain calm and that everything necessary is being done to ensure public safety.
“Governor Ibrahim Gaidam wishes to extend his deepest appreciation and those of the Yobe State Government to the people for their continuous cooperation with the military and other security agencies, a measure that has resulted in huge security gains at various times.
“The governor, therefore, urges the people to sustain and build on this level of cooperation and continue to report to law enforcement agencies if and when they notice anything suspicious in their communities.”
