Borno speaker faults Lai, Olonisakin, says Guzamala under Boko Haram

The Speaker of Borno State House of Assembly, Abdulkarim Lawan, has faulted claims made by the Minister of Information, Lai Mohammed, and the immediate past Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), Gen Gabriel Olonisakin that all the 27 LGAs in the state have been liberated from the hands of Boko Haram sect and fully under the control of military troops.

Lawan said the entire Guzamala LGA where he hails from is still under full control of Boko Haram insurgents.
