However, it is not clear if Boko Haram insurgents are behind the attacks, which happened 24 hours after the convoy of the state governor, Babagana Zulum, was attacked in Kukawa Local Government Area of the state.
Reacting to the attack on his convoy, Zulum said he will mobilise hunters to protect the people, if the military is unable to secure them.

“We have over 1,181 soldiers in Baga; 72 officers, 107 solders, 400 soldiers in mile 4 and 1,900 soldiers in Monguno. I see no reason why Boko Haram will stop operate in Baga town,” Zulum said while confronting the military commander in charge of Baga.
“The troops have been in mile 4 for over one year, there is complete sabotage, the problem is not with President Buhari, or General Burutai but the command and control structures. There is need to look into command structure.

“We have over 80,000 IDPs in Monguno, they cannot continue to depend on NGOs and others for food, we have created opportunity for them to go back to their communities and continue with their business and farming activities.
“After Sallah, we will go back to Kukawa. We will give time to the military; but if they will not clear Baga, we will mobilise our hunters and vigilantes to recapture Baga… we can’t continue like this. People have take their destiny in their hands.”
