Borno State Government Spent N10 Billion On Boko Haram Insurgency

             
The Borno State government has spent more than 10b naira on combating the Boko Haram since their inception in the state, an amount spent over the past four years.
This new fact was made known to newsmen in the state capital when protesters recently had stormed the office of the Deputy Governor in Maiduguri over the missing Chibok girls.
According to the Borno State Deputy Governor, Alh Zanna Mustapha, in a bold promise to reporters, he had said, “if we all have arms and ammunition (that we need) we can all go to (the) Sambisa forest to rescue our girls.”

However, in a cautious statement to reporters, Governor Zanna Mustapha said, the state government had (already) spent 10 billion Naira on the insurgency.
He noted that it's “a barbaric act” for anyone to think that these girl’s Mid-April kidnapping was “stage managed,” carried out as a prank, or publicity stunt.
Today a coalition of civil society groups, and religious bodies in the state  marched on the streets of Maiduguri to demand the ‘release of our girls.’
