Wives of repentant Boko Haram members give birth to 263 babies – Borno

The wives of repentant Boko Haram fighters have given birth to no fewer than 263 babies in four months.

The Borno State Government disclosed this to visiting journalists in Maiduguri, the state capital, on Tuesday.

The delivery was conducted at the health facility located inside the Hajj Camp in Maiduguri, which is currently being used as temporary shelter for repentant terrorists.

According to the state government, over 16,000 repentant terrorists are being accommodated in the camp.

Giving the breakdown of the delivery to journalists, the Medical Officer in charge of the health facility, Dr. Mohammed Saleh, said 94 children were birthed in July 2022, 98 in August, 60 in September, and 11 in October.

“Almost on a daily basis, we carry out delivery,” Saleh said.

Although he did not give figures for women who gave birth in the month of November, Channels Television counted at least 20 women said to have given birth in the last two weeks, among whom was a 20-year-old woman, who was delivered of twins.

There are currently more than 500 women at the Hajj camp who are said to be pregnant.

Also speaking to journalists, the Senior Special Adviser to the Borno State Governor on Security Matters, Brigadier General Abdullahi Ishaq (retd), said since the state government started the collaborative non-kinetic approach to the Boko Haram insurgence in 2021, over 82,000 of the fighters and their families had surrendered.

Ishaq added that more than 3,500 had been reintegrated into their communities.

According to him, more than 85 per cent of the repentant Boko Haram fighters who have surrendered were forcefully enlisted by the combatant fighters.

However, logistics for fending off the repentant terrorists remained a major challenge, the state government said.

The Commissioner of Women Affairs and Social Development, Zuwaira Gambo, told Channels Television that the government had the political will to implement the model it had adopted for the de-radicalisation and rehabilitation of terrorists who were willing to lay down their arms and surrender.

“The Borno State Governor Babagana Zulum is determined to ensure peace returns to the state,” Gambo said.

According to her, it is not easy to house the magnitude of the ex-fighters and feed them at the same time.

But she added that the government was doing everything possible to achieve that.

She said: “We want to ensure they are reintegrated into the society as better people.

“We have also created skill acquisition programmes for the men and women to be empowered with skills before they go back to their communities.

“Schools have also been built with the support of partners where the children of the repentant insurgents can acquire education.

“They are willing to acquire Western education now, contrary to the ideology of Boko Haram.”

The Hajj camp is the biggest among the three camps housing the repentant terrorists.

Over 3,000 houses have been constructed in the camp for those who are married with children, while those who are single are kept in other tents.

Over 6,000 men are in the camp while women and children number over 10,000.
