Kirawa, Borno state - Governor Babagana Umara Zulum has mobilised civilian JTF fighters and troops to the Kirawa community in Gwoza Local Government Area (LGA) of Borno state.

Governor Zulum made the move following the withdrawal of Cameroonian soldiers stationed in the town.

Boko Haram terrorists killed residents and set houses ablaze after the soldiers left the town.

As reported by Daily Trust, Governor Zulum disclosed this during an assessment visit on Friday, October 3, 2025.

Governor Zulum regretted the incessant terrorist attacks on the town.

“Yes, Cameroonian troops have withdrawn, but that doesn’t mean that the Nigerian Army should leave the area vacant.”
