The meeting was attended by the Garrison Commander 7 Decision, other heads of other security agencies, leaders of the Christian Association of Nigeria , and Chief Imams, among others. According to Zagazola Makama, a counterinsurgency expert in Lake Chad, the show of force is a result of rumours of protest over a blasphemous statement made against the Prophet Muhammed by another Lady on her Facebook page.The lady, Neomi Goni, while arguing on Facebook with a fellow user of the platform, reportedly made a blasphemous statement, which immediately went viral with residents and youths calling for her arrest and prosecution “or face another consequence”.
“On his part, The CP, Abdu Umar said Borno had suffered its share of security challenges in the past 12 years, as such, we don’t want to go through that experience again, hence, the need to proactively engage the stakeholders to beckon on their followers to sustain the peace.
“In case of any eventuality or surprise, we are also going to embark on a show of force from Sunday to alert residents that we are active, on alert, and battle-ready to pounce on anybody that will want to attempt to disturb public peace.”
