Shekau is a lunatic, his actions are beneath the act of an animal - Borno state Gov

Governor of Borno state, Kashim Shettima has
described the leader of Boko Haram, Abubakar
Shekau as a Lunatic who does not deserve any
respect. Gov Shettima said this while speaking
to state house correspondence after an
emergency security meeting between the North
Eastern governors, security chiefs and President
Jonathan at the state house earlier today

"Shekau is a lunatic. He is a deranged
element. He is not somebody anybody
should give any molecule of respect. His
actions are beneath the act of even an
animal, believe me. I’m an eternal optimist
and I am passionate too for that matter,
that we shall have enduring peace very
soon with the very robust frame work on
ground.

We don’t want to mention a date or
anything but I believe our military is arising
to the challenges of the time. Our military
will robustly respond to the challenges, I
believe. Like I said earlier, I’m an eternal
optimist; we have to hope for the best
against whatever odds" he said
The governor said some areas in Borno state are
partially in the control of Boko Haram but says
he is optimistic that the state would surmount
the challenges

"There are some local governments that are
partially under the control of the insurgents
and there are some that are largely under
our control. I really don’t want to bolster
Boko Haram by quoting numbers and
figures because these lunatics feast on the
oxygen of publicity. The more publicity they
get, the happier they become. I don’t want
to give them that luxury. But I want to
assure you that with 1,000 years of
recorded history, Borno shall rise again in
spite of all the challenges, believe me Insha
Allah.” he said
