Borno state governor, Babagana Zulum has stated that himself and his government have reasons to believe that internally displaced persons (IDPs) are being recruited by the Boko Haram sect.
Speaking during an interview with the Hausa Service of BBC, the Borno state Governor stated that his government has been working to return the displaced persons to their home.
Zulum said, “Truly, the Boko Haram sect is working on people to join them. This is frightening. If the IDPs living in camps could not get what they are looking for, especially the opportunity to go back to their various towns and return to farm, they may be forced to join the Boko Haram sect.
“It is important that they go back to their various towns because no government can continue to be feeding them continuously.

“The sect members are hiding at the Lake Chad area and the Sambisa forest. There will still be problems unless they are traced to their hiding places. Chasing them away from their headquarters is one of the solutions towards ending insurgency.”
