Borno State Governor, Babagana Umara Zulum on Saturday directed remodeling of the State’s Specialist Hospital in Maiduguri, with new structures to be built.

Zulum also ordered rehabilitation of ‘Buba Marwa House’ which serves as an accommodation for medical doctors working with Specialist Hospital.

The Governor gave both directives on Saturday afternoon during an assessment visit to the hospital.

“We have examined the capacity of the hospital, and we will soon embark on erecting more structures and make certain adjustments in such a way that doctors and other health allied staff will have offices in the premises.” Zulum said.

The Governor also announced that medical equipment will be procured and more medical staff, including doctors and nurses, will be recruited.

“Borno State Government will procure medical equipments that are currently not available at the hospital. We will recruit more doctors and nurses and ensure wash facilities are provided.” Zulum said.

He noted that “all these efforts are geared towards re-positioning the health care system in Borno State”.

Governor Zulum was accompanied to the assessment by Secretary to the State Government, Bukar Tijjani, and some top Government officials.

Bandits Dump Corpses in Revenge Attack in Tafoki Village, Katsina

By: Zagazola Makama

A group of suspected bandits have launched a brutal revenge attack on Tafoki village in the Fasakari Local Government Area of Katsina State, dumping several corpses at the entrance to the community.

Local sources told Zagazola Makama that the assailants, believed to be mostly in their 20s, arrived in the village on April 9, 2025, and positioned the bodies at the entrance. This attack is reportedly in retaliation for the deaths of three bandits killed by villagers in February 2025, after the criminals attempted to launch an assault on the village.

Among the slain bandits was Goje, a notorious leader who led the failed attack. Sources suggest that the bandits have since been abducting villagers, tying their hands behind their backs, and executing them with gunshots to the head. Afterward, the bandits return the bodies and dispose of them at the village entrance.

As families mourn, they are left to recover the decomposing remains of their loved ones, with some corpses already starting to decompose.

Villagers are left devastated, grappling with the trauma of the violence and the realization that their attempts to defend themselves against the bandits’ previous assault have now turned into deadly retribution.
