Borno: Proper Islamic education will reduce crime – Gov Zulum

The Borno State Governor, Professor Banbagana Zulum has appealed to Zamfara State indigenes to support efforts to rid the region of insecurity.

Zulum made the call during his opening remarks as the chairman of the 37th national Quranic recitation competition in Gusau, saying many state governments inherited security challenges

He said even the coronavirus pandemic destroyed the economic set-up of many states and that of the country at large.

“It is also very clear that Governor Matawalle inherited the insecurity and had tried his best to address the insecurity situation”

He said the lack of proper Islamic education contributed to the increase in social vices, stressing that most crimes are perpetrated by youths.
