Borno State Governor, Babagana Umara Zulum, on Saturday paid visits to families of over 30 fishermen killed by Boko Haram insurgents on Wednesday at Mukdolo village in Ngala Local Government Area (LGA), some kilometres away from Dikwa.

Zulum was in Dikwa town where the fishermen lived and from where they went fishing at Mukdolo before they were ambushed.

Dikwa town, headquarters of Dikwa Local Government Area, is located within Borno Central. Dikwa was once occupied by Boko Haram around 2014 as a stronghold before it was liberated by the military, rebuilt by government and reoccupied.

Governor Zulum met all bereaved families of the slain fishermen at the palace of the Shehu of Dikwa, Alhaji Ibrahim Ibn Ibrahim El-Kanemi.
