Amidst the numerous spates of terrorism and Fulani bandits attack, reports has it that Borno state governor, Governor Babagana Zulum, has handed power over to his deputy, Umar Kadafur, to serve as acting governor from April 29 to May 19.

The terrorist group attacked a base in Ajiri, about 20 kilometres (12 miles) away from Maiduguri, the Borno state capital, according AFP.
A similar attack had been carried out earlier on Saturday night when the insurgents hit a base in Rann in the same state, the military sources said.
