Borno State governor, Professor Babagana Umara Zulum, on Tuesday, offered a ‘Christmas package’ for each of the over 700 soldiers under the 151 Battalion for not suffering a single defeat in all their campaigns against insurgents since inception.
This came 24 hours after the governor visited insurgent-infested Maiduguri-Damaturu road and accused patrols of negligence.
