Borno State governor Kashim Shettima said that the recent successes recorded by the military against Boko Haram terrorists had made the state capital a safe haven for all Nigerians and is even more safe than Lagos.. Shettima stated this on Sunday in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Maiduguri.He said

“Maiduguri is more secure than even Lagos or Abuja. There are 2 million people living in Maiduguri. We celebrated Sallah without any incident,” Shettima said.

The governor also disclosed that he abandoned the use of bullet proof cars as an act of sympathy with the suffering masses who have no means of self protection from terrorists.
He said that the action was also aimed at showing that the terrorists had no supernatural powers.

“We have to dare the terrorists. I have bullet proof cars, but I do not use them. I want to be exposed to the elements as the ordinary people do,” Shettima said.

He said the bullet proof cars were only kept for the use of visitors who might be afraid to use ordinary cars.
“We have so many bullet proof cars but we only use them for our guests.
“Sometimes I drive myself round the town to see things for myself,” Shettima said
