Shocking: Christians, White Men, Part of Boko Haram – Zulum.

The Governor of Borno State, Babagana Zulum has disclosed that white men, Asians, Africans, Christians and Muslims are members of the dreaded Boko Haram terrorist group.

Speaking in Lagos, the governor made this known on Friday at the 17th Chief Gani Fawehinmi annual lecture, themed ‘the constitutional history of Nigeria’s dysfunction: Any pathway to indivisibility and common progress?’ which was organized by the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA).

According to the governor, foreign interests are also sponsoring the Boko Haram terrorist group to recruit children as fighters.

Zulum urged Nigerians not to see the insurgency in the north-eastern states of Borno, Yobe and Adamawa as a northern problem but a challenge that affects everyone.

The Borno governor pointed out that his state shares a border with Cameroon, Chad and Niger Republic and that as a result of Nigeria’s porous borders, people were importing arms into the country,.

He noted that such arms keep fuelling the insurgency, adding that “our borders are so porous and proliferation of arms is existing there.”

 “I’m from Borno State, and many of our children are into Boko Haram. I’m not denying the fact. But again, they are being sponsored by many people across the world. Among Boko Haram, we have white men, Asians, Africans, Muslims and Christians,” Zulum said.
