The lawmaker representing the Borno South Senatorial District, Senator Ali Ndume, has called on security agencies to focus on two identified blackspots believed to have become hideouts of the Boko Haram insurgents.
The two areas, according to Ndume, are the Damboa/Gwoza/Chibok axis and the Lake Chad axis.
Ndume made this known in a statement issued on Tuesday from Saudi Arabia where he is performing the lesser Hajj, in reaction to the attacks by insurgents on Damboa, in the Damboa Local Government Area of Borno State, which left scores of people dead.
Thirty-one persons were killed and 48 others injured in a massive bomb attack on Damboa.
While the police in the state said on Sunday that 21 people were killed, residents said 31 people died in the attacks suspected to have been carried out by members of the sect.
According to the police, the explosion occurred on Saturday night in the town, about a distance of 90 kilometres from Maiduguri, the capital of troubled Borno State.
