Boko Haram insurgents have hoisted their flag in Kaure village in Shiroro Local Government Area of Niger State.
The latest development was made known by the Niger State Governor, Abubakar Sani Bello, when he visited the Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) Camp at the IBB Primary School near the Palace of Emir of Minna on Monday.
“I am confirming that there are Boko Haram elements around Kaure in Shiroro local government of Niger state. They have taken over the territory, they have installed their flag,” the governor said.

Bello warned that the Boko Haram terrorists are trying to make Kaure their home and headquarters like they did to Sambisa forest.
The governor added that while Sambisa forest is serveral kilometres away from Abuja, Kaure is only two hours drive to Abuja.
He, however, disclosed that his administration has been engaging the federal government to come to the aid of the state in dealing with the insecurity, adding that such efforts have not yielded desired results.
