Governor Kashim Shettima of Borno has revealed why he abandoned his bullet proof cars.
Shettima while stating this on Sunday in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Maiduguri said he abandoned the use of bullet proof cars as an actof sympathy with the suffering masses who had no means of self-protection from terrorists.
He said that the action was also aimed at showing that the terrorists had no super natural powers.
“We have to dare the terrorists; I have bullet proof cars, but I do not use them; I want to be exposed to the elements as the ordinary people do,” Shettima said.
He said the bullet proof cars were only kept for the use of visitors who might be afraid to use ordinary cars.
“We have so many bullet proof cars but we only use them for our guests.
“Sometimes I drive myself round the town to see things for myself,” Shettima said.
