This road has remained inaccessible to people since 2012 due to activities of Boko Haram, but with the commitment of President Muhammadu Buhari and our security agencies, we have reopened it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs we are coming here today, I have sighted some immigration personnel busy extorting our motorists along the Maiduguri-Bama-Banki junction, which is unacceptable.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to strongly sound a warning, especially to immigration personnel and other sister agencies to desist from extorting motorists and passengers while plying the road.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn behalf of the government and the people of Borno state, we appreciate the efforts of President Muhammadu Buhari through the chief of defence staff, general Lucky Irabor, for the restoration of peace and stabilisation in the state and the north-east region.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLikewise, as the chief security officer of the state, I have given an order to the military to arrest anybody engaged in smuggling of goods, especially diverting the main road to the bush with food items. Therefore, any perpetrator, if arrested, should be treated as a Boko Haram member.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He also commended the efforts of security agencies on ensuring safety for farmers in the area.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLast year, we made an appeal to the Nigerian military to allow farmers have access to their farms, and from the look of things, quite a number of our farmers would have a bumper harvest this year,\u201d Zulum said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is so commendable as the support our internally displaced persons get from non-governmental organisations (NGOs) is no longer sustainable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He also asked the theatre commander of operation Hadin Kai and troops of 151 and 152 battalion to support in efforts to ensure safety of travellers plying the route.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Governor of Borno state, Babagana Zulum on Wednesday has reopened the Bama-Banki road which connects Nigeria to some other African countries.
