Segun Akanni, Toronto, Canada 
Governor Babagana Zulum of Borno State has said that Boko Haram terrorists are now recruiting children into their group.
Zulum made this known when he welcomed members of the House of Representatives to Maiduguri, the Borno State capital.
The governor blamed the high rate of unemployment in the state as the reason why the terrorists have been able to recruit children.
“The only solution we have now is to ensure the safe return of our people to their homes in a dignified manner.
“If nothing is done believe me sincerely we shall face a very serious challenge even more than what we are facing now.
“This is because right now the insurgents are recruiting many of our children into the sect because of the increasing unemployment rate,” he said.
