The civilians had returned to Darajamal two months ago after being displaced by earlier insurgent attacks.
Visibly moved by the tragedy, Governor Zulum met with community leaders and consoled the bereaved families. Speaking to newsmen, he said, “We are here to commiserate with the people of Darajamal over what happened last night that has claimed the lives of many people. It is very sad. This community was settled a few months ago and they go about their normal activities, but unfortunately, they experienced a Boko Haram attack last night. Our visit is to commiserate with them and build their resilience.”
On the casualties, the governor confirmed, “At this moment we have confirmed that 63 people lost their lives, both civilians and military, although the civilian casualties are more.”
Governor Zulum also highlighted the challenges in combating insecurity and called for the immediate deployment of newly trained Forest Guards to complement the military in protecting vulnerable communities. He said, “We have to take note that the numerical strength of the military is not enough to cover everywhere. So far, so good; two sets of Forest Guards have been trained. Therefore, one of the solutions that we need to implement immediately is to deploy the trained Forest Guards to most of the locations that are vulnerable; they will protect the forest and communities.”
Senator Kaka Shehu Lawan, representing Borno Central where Darajamal is located, condemned the attack, describing it as a crime against humanity.
