“It is so sad, looking at what happened. It is quite unfortunate and I am pained by that incident. However, those men died as heroes, as patriots and as people that have brought honour to their families even though we never wished that it happened” Zulum said.

Governor Zulum announced that the Borno state government was going to offer support to families of the bereaved, however, explained that “Government will not publicly announce the nature of support so that it does not appear as if the support equal the values of the lives of those killed” noting that nothing can compensate for the life of a human being.

“Insha’ Allah we shall do everything possible to support the families. The education of their children is very important in addition to the support for their means of livelihood. I want to once again sympathize with the families on behalf of the grateful people of Borno State. I condole with the Borno state police command, the CP, the Inspector General of Police, the Nigeria Police Force and entire Nigerians over the sad moment” Zulum said.

Meanwhile, the governor Zulum was also at the state specialist hospital in Maiduguri to console those injured from the Baga ambush.
