MAIDUGURI — The Ngoshe Stakeholders Forum (NSF) in Gwoza Local Government Area of Borno State has dismissed reports suggesting that Mr. Samaila Kaigama played any role in the rescue of about 416 abducted persons from Ngoshe, while hailing President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Governor Babagana Umara Zulum, and other stakeholders for their support.
The forum also dissociated itself from claims made by a group identified as the Borno South Youth Alliance (BOSYA), allegedly linked to Kaigama, insisting that neither the group nor its representatives speak for the Ngoshe community.
Addressing a press conference in Maiduguri on Tuesday, attended by former Gwoza Local Government chairmen and other community stakeholders, the NSF Chairman, Prof. Suleiman Bello, said the claims were false and misleading.
