Governor Babagana Zulum of Borno has alleged that 95 per cent of the youths who participated in Thursday\u2019s violent protests in Maiduguri were children under 14 years.<\/p>\n

According to the News Agency of Nigeria, Zulum announced this and the lifting of the state’s 24-hour curfew to the people of Borno in a broadcast.<\/p>\n

“Children under the age of fourteen made up over 95% of the participants in the so-called Thursday protests,” stated Zulum. The majority of them have no idea why they are demonstrating.<\/p>\n

\u201cA six-year-old child carrying a placard is amazing; he must have been directed by someone. Most of those children are not from Borno.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile we are not discouraging the Almajiri education, we must however have their teachers or guardians looking after them.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Zulum, there is a situation in Maiduguri where thousands of children are living under the name Almajiri without any care at all, and this needs to be investigated.<\/p>\n

He claimed that the vandals who took over the Maiduguri demonstrations had destroyed and looted public buildings, including hospitals.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn what could have been a major disaster, attempts were made by the hoodlums on several occasions to attack the Maiduguri Emergency Power Gas Plant, however, it was averted by our gallant security forces.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cViolence has no place in our society and I implore citizens to reject any call to arms or act of aggression.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAs we lift the curfew on Saturday, any person that engages in looting and violent activities will be dealt with accordingly,\u201d Zulum said.<\/span><\/p>\n

He reaffirmed the administration’s commitment to improving the state, pointing to initiatives in a number of areas, most notably infrastructure, health, and education.<\/p>\n

Zulum said: \u201cWe have distributed rounds of food and non-food items palliatives within Maiduguri and other LGAs, scaled up our support to farmers through sales of fertiliser, and provided seeds and farm inputs to enhance food production.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to also invest in irrigation agriculture and livestock development.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
