The governor of Borno State, Babagana Zulum was on Monday seen in a video scolding soldiers, who were reportedly extorting motorists at a checkpoint.

Zulum made the allegation after finding motorists stranded in Njimtilo where a gate was constructed on the highway to check the movement of people in and out of Maiduguri.

He alleged that soldiers collected N1,000 bribe from travellers who did not have national identity cards.

Zulum said that the soldiers were extorting motorists while Boko Haram terrorists were attacking.

A soldier who tried to offer an explanation by saying, "Nobody should do such a thing," was shouted down by the governor, who said, "I have seen it."
