The Borno State Government has donated N8m, along with food items for onward distribution to the 360 captives recently released by suspected Boko Haram terrorists.
The Chairman of Gwoza Local Government Area of Borno State, Abba Timta, confirmed the receipt of the donation on Monday.
The PUNCH had reported that about 360 victims were among the 416 residents, mostly women and children, abducted during a terrorist attack on Ngoshe, Gwoza LGA, on March 4, 2026.
The chairman, while addressing the victims shortly after a visit by the Borno State Governor, Prof Babagana Zulum, at Pulka, said each of the victims will get the sum of N21,000.
In a three-minute, 22-second video obtained by our correspondent on Tuesday, the chairman urged the victims to share what they needed, as the provision may not be sufficient for all of them.
