Auno and Jakana, a distance of about 20 kilometers.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u201cI have had occasions to defend the Nigerian military in order to boost the morale of commanders and their troops at the front lines because I know the true picture of things, however, I am really disappointed that despite all support from both the federal government and from us in Borno state, our military is failing to secure an area of 20 kilometers, which is the distance between\u00a0 Auno and Jakana. And incidentally, majority of Boko Haram\u2019s attacks along this Maiduguri-Damaturu-Kano road, keeps happening between Auno and Jakana. So, if the military cannot secure 20 kilometers, how can they keep us with the hope they will defeat the Boko Haram?\u201d Zulum said.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\n<figure id=\"attachment_6894\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6894\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-6894\" src=\"https:\/\/newsreservoir.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/IMG_20201221_41977-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/newsreservoir.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/IMG_20201221_41977-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/newsreservoir.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/IMG_20201221_41977-630x420.jpg 630w, https:\/\/newsreservoir.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/IMG_20201221_41977.jpg 675w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6894\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Governor Zulum in Jakana<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">The governor also berated the army and his own state government established rapid response squad which combines well equipped policemen, vigilantes and local hunters, for lack of visibility along the Maiduguri-Damaturu road, which he thought, makes it feasible for Boko Haram to keep running their show in the same axis and on multiple occasions.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u201cWith all you (journalists) we drove from Maiduguri to here, Jakana.
