The Governor issued the directive during a visit to Bayan Quarters, a neighborhood near the Railway Staff Quarters in the city, he ordered the demolition of brothels and criminal den notorious for prostitution, gangsterism, and other illicit activities.
He set a strict deadline of 72 hours for the removal of this establishment.
He expressed deep concern about the rise in criminal incidents linked to these brothels, stressing that they must be demolished within 72 hours.
“The government has been duly informed of the activities that are going on here, this settlement is completely illegal. People are killed here, this place serves as a breeding space for insurgents. Therefore, I have directed that everybody should vacate the place,” Zulum said.
He also announced the revocation of the land title where such criminal activities were perpetuated, which he said was initially approved for use by the Nigerian Railway Corporation.
“I understand that this land was approved by the Borno State Government to be used by the Nigerian Railway Corporation, but unfortunately, it’s been rented out illegally with all forms of criminal activities taking place.
“For this reason, the government has revoked the earlier approval and henceforth, the land belongs to the Borno State Government,” he added.
Kanyi Daily recalls that Governor Babagana Zulum had received a total number of 1,300 Nigerian refugees repatriated from neighbouring Cameroon.
