A statement from the Special Adviser to the Governor on Media and Strategy, Isa Gusau, on Saturday said Mr Zulum met with the bereaved families at the palace of the Emir of Dikwa, Ibrahim Ibn Ibrahim-Elkanemi.
“On behalf of the government and people of Borno, I am here to extend our sympathy to you over the killing of our brothers who had gone to earn a living.
“I urge you to take solace from the Almighty Allah, as He alone can take life. We pray that their souls shall rest in eternal peace,” Mr Zulum said.
The governor, who presented relief materials to families of the slain fishermen, also assured them of further assistance.
Responding on behalf of the families, the Shehu of Dikwa appreciated the governor for his concern and commitment to the welfare of the people.
