Borno State Governor, Babagana Zulum, says he is seriously worried that jailed Boko Haram terrorists, ISWAP commanders, bandit kingpins and other dangerous terrorists might have escaped from the Maiduguri correctional centre following the severe flooding that ravaged the state capital as a result of the collapse of the Alau Dam.
Recall that the over 40 year old dam had last Tuesday, collapsed, causing the worst flooding the state had experienced in the last 30 years with over 50 people feared dead while more than two million others have been displaced and properties worth billions of naira destroyed.
Zulum who raised the alarm in an interview with BBC Hausa News said the security situation in the state could be worsened with the reported escape of the terrorists said to be over 200.
