Borno State governor, Babagana Zulum has condemned the recent suicide attack by Boko suspected terrorists in Konduga Local Government Area.
The attack, which occurred on Friday around 10pm, targeted a night fish market, killing 12 people and leaving 18 others injured.
Reacting to the incident, Zulum, in a statement by his spokesperson, Dauda Iliya, expressed grief, stating that “the barbaric acts committed by these terrorists are not only heinous, but an assault on our shared humanity.”

He called on the people to remain vigilant and report suspicious activities to security agencies.
The governor also expressed condolences to the families of the victims, emphasising that all well-meaning citizens of Borno share in their pain.
