The Governor, who said he discussed the report of the
surrendering of Boko Haram insurgents with the President, further
said he did not see any reason why those who surrendered should be
rejected.
Zulum also said there are a total of 2,600 surrendered
insurgents now in custody, emphasising that not all of them are
criminals.
He said among those that surrendered were innocent people
forcefully conscripted to join the Boko Haram sect while some are
teenagers.
While declaring his total support for the insurgents that have
surrendered, he said the Borno government was not contemplating
giving the repentant terrorists any dine for them to surrender.
The Governor, who said he had been attacked by the insurgents
for about 50 times, also promised to support victims of the
insurgents.
