“It is very worrisome and shocking that the renewed attacks in Borno and other places has taken a different dimension without confrontation. Just today (Monday) one of my local government area which is Marte came under a deadly Boko Haram Invasion on military formation.
“Many Soldiers were killed with looting of arms and ammunition without confrontation. Let me use this opportunity to call on all and sundry to support convention of National Security Summit (NSS), considering the fact that the renewed attacks seem to be going out of hand,”Monguno said.
