I think, to me, and to the greater majority of people of Borno state, this is a very good development,\u201d Zulum said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the last 12 years thousands of lives were lost; people have completely lost their means of livelihood. We have a total number of over 50,000 orphans and widows; these are official figures. The unofficial figures are more than this, and we were able to cultivate not more than three percent of our total arable land because of the insurgency and right now, the whereabouts of not less than 10 percent of people of Borno state is not known to all of us at all.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a very serious matter and I think the report of the surrendering of the insurgents, to me in particular and to the greater people of Borno state, is a very welcomed development. Unless we want to continue with an endless war, I see no reason why we shall reject those that are willing to surrender.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve been in this. For the last 11 or 12 years, I was attacked for more than 40 to 50 times. I know the magnitude of this problem. More than 100,000 people were killed, I\u2019m telling you. Therefore, I\u2019m in total support of this ongoing surrender by the insurgents, we support them and those who have surrendered shall be dealt with according to the extant rules and regulations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut mind you, among those that have surrendered, some are innocent. They were forcefully conscripted into this programme. Some are teenagers, below the ages of 11, 12, who can handle AK-47 and there\u2019s one very important thing that Nigerians need to understand; if this issue of Boko Haram insurgency is not resolved, I believe it will never end because it is a generation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Zulum added that no law prescribes the killing of surrendered insurgents, saying that they would be trained for the purpose of reintegration.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Governor of Borno state, Babangana Zulum has stated that he has been attacked by Boko Haram insurgents &#8220;more than 40 to 50 times&#8221;.
