Borno State governor Babagana Zulum has reportedly said that there is no reason for Nigerians to reject surrendering Boko Haram terrorists.
Governor Zulum said this to journalists on Tuesday after meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari in Aso Villa, Abuja.
He said, “Unless we want to continue with an endless war, I see no reason why we should reject those who are willing to surrender.
“More than 100,000 people were killed and therefore, I am in total support of this ongoing surrender by the insurgents. We will support them and those that have surrendered shall be dealt with according to the extant rules and regulations.”
The United Nations Development Programme in June reported that Boko Haram terrorists have killed about 350,000 people in the North-East – 90 per cent of those killed are children – since they took up arms against the Nigerian state in 2009.
