Governor Kashim Shettima of Borno
State said, yesterday, that the Boko Haram
insurgents would not emerge victorious in their
continued killing and maiming of innocent Nigerians.
Shettima spoke with newsmen in Maiduguri
following the recent attack and abduction of some
female students of the Government Girls Secondary
School, GGSC, Chibok.
He said: “They can burn our physical infrastructure,
but they cannot destroy our souls. We are going to
survive and rebuild our lives because truth will
always triumph over falsehood.”
He said Boko Haram was an ideology built on
falsehood which cannot stand the test of time.
Shettima described the abduction of the students as
a national tragedy.
He said: “The abduction of innocent girls is also a
trial from God, and we will overcome it soon. Our
hearts go to the parents of the abducted girls,
because it is a tragedy that has befallen all of us.”
Shettima expressed optimism that the girls would
soon be rescued by security agents, noting:
“Security agents are working very hard to rescue
the girls. Hopefully, the girls will be rescued in a
very short while.”
