Governor of Borno State, Babagana Umara Zulum, earlier today (Monday), offered to give 12 young girls a lift back to Monguno after sighting them by the road side.
Zulum was reportedly moving to Monguno in northern part of the state when he ordered his convoy to stop in an area that is notorious for Boko Haram activities.
When asked what they had come to do at the place, the young girls said they were fetching firewood. The firewood reportedly serves as a source of energy to local residents whose livelihoods have been denied as a result of decade long insurgency.
