The Governor of Borno state Kashim Shettima, was mistakenly attacked by Nigerian soldiers in Maiduguri, the capital of the State, as he and his entourage approached a military garrison near the airport.
According to Sahara Reporters, Gov Shettima was on his way to visit soldiers, who were wounded in the simultenous Boko Haram attacks on Maiduguri, Monguno and Kodunga when the incident occurred on Monday. Security sources, said the governor’s protocol unit was to blame for the incident as it failed to notify the military authorities about Shettima’s intention to visit the military facility on Monday evening.
An aide to the governor was quoted by the online news portal as having said that the governor, who was unharmed in the encounter, returned to his office unruffled.
