Hundreds of Nigerian Ex-Boko Haram Fighters who have surrendered and are being housed at a Hajj camp in Borno State rioted on Friday over N30,000 unpaid allowances promised by the government..
The Ex-Bokoharam terrorist blocked the Bulumkutu- Maiduguri Highway creating gridlock and tension among residents in the area.
The incident illustrated the sensitive task which authorities face in re-inserting former fighters back into communities that have often suffered from years of attacks and kidnappings during a 13-year Islamist insurgency.
