It is accurate to say that there have been a few incidents of attacks in the Geidam Local Government Area. The militants recorded some casualties as a result of their attacks, which were directed towards soft targets.
However, he added, “all the pressing issues were discussed in this meeting that was called by the Yobe State Government today as part of its responsibility to ensure the security and safety of the citizenry.”
Regarding the question of whether Boko Haram militants are obtaining taxes and levies in communities along the Geidam axis, the special adviser refuted the assertion, characterizing it as mere hearsay.

The problem of rebels collecting taxes or levies is currently confined to the domain of rumors because, to far, no one has come out and claimed to have paid a specific sum as a tax, levie, or ransom.
He claims that in order to prevent criminals from having any room to operate and mistreat the people of the state, particularly in the Geidam Local Government Area, the council has given security agencies in the state orders to step up their efforts and take control of the entire region.
