ISWAP Can Overrun Nigeria If Unchecked, Gov Zulum Warns

Deji Elumoye in Abuja

Governor Babagana Zulum of Borno state has warned that the Islamic State’s West Africa Province (ISWAP) can overrun Nigeria if its activities are left unchecked.
The governor made the declaration Thursday while featuring at the weekly media briefing organized by the Presidential Communication Team at the State House; Abuja.
According to him, the terrorist group, which is becoming more educated and sophisticated, is massing up in Borno state exploiting its closeness to the Sahel.
Zulum stressed that unless something was done quickly to stop them, the Boko Haram insurgency will be a child’s play compared to what ISWAP can do.
His words: “But I think this is the early warning system. We shouldn’t allow ISWAP to grow. ISWAP are more sophisticated, more funded and they are more educated. And we have to do everything possible to defeat ISWAP. Otherwise, what Boko Haram did will be a child’s play.”
