Borno State Governor Kashim Shettima yesterday explained why Boko Haram insurgents swooped on his convoy on Tuesday, killing three civilians and a soldier.
The governor said the attack was a mere propaganda strategy by the insurgents to attract global media attention and instill fear in citizens and troops.
Shettima, who reacted through his Special Adviser on Media & Strategy, Isa Gusau, sympathised with those who lost their loved ones in the attack.
The governor’s convoy was ambushed and attacked by the terrorists on his way to a political campaign rally in the northern part of the state.
