Two years after fleeing their domain due to the insurgent
Boko Haram, two out of the five Borno emirs have returned to their palaces.
According to the The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), the two
emirs, Alhaji Muhammadu Askirama of Askira, and Alhaji Ismaila Mamza of Uba,
returned to their respective palaces on Tuesday in company of Borno Deputy
Governor, Alhaji Mamman Durkuwa.
The insurgents took control of the area in August 2015 and
announced establishment of Caliphate rule, forcing residents including the
emirs to flee. The insurgents were however mauled down by the military who took
total control of the area and restored normalcy.
NAN reports that three other emirs; the Emir of Bama, Alhaji
Kyari El-Kanemi, Emir of Dikwa, Muhammad Ibn Masta, and Chief of Gwoza Alhaji
Muhammad Timta still resides in Maiduguru and yet to return to their domain.
