Borno State Governor Babagana Umara Zulum has ordered the immediate prosecution of Bukar Modu, a man shown in a disturbing viral video allegedly molesting a minor.
Zulum gave the order when he met with the victim, Bashir Gaji at Government House in Maiduguri.
The video, which has sparked outrage across social media platforms, highlights a grave violation of children’s rights and the urgent need for a robust response from law enforcement and judicial authorities.
Governor Zulum emphasised that his administration will not tolerate any form of abuse or exploitation of minors and directed swift action to bring the perpetrator to justice.
The governor also directed the Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Development to devise modalities for increased community awareness programmes to educate families and local traditional teachers and guardians on the proper means of enforcing discipline on children.
