The Emir of Kano, Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi II has raised the alarm over possible deaths of children in Borno State soon as a result of hunger caused by the Boko Haram insurgency.
According to DailyTrust, the emir raised the alarm while speaking as the Chairman, University of Lagos Muslim Alumni (UMA) Annual Lecture and the launch of N150 million Scholarship Endowment Fund in Lagos. He said, “If things continue as it is, then we may soon start seeing children of Borno like the pictures of those children we used to see in Ethiopia who were dropping dead on the streets, dying of hunger.”
Stressing his fear for the downtrodden, particularly the people of Borno State, the emir said, “In the last three years, there has not been farming in Borno. The industries have closed down. The Lake Chad basin where some other people do fishing has also been affected because of the Boko Haram crisis. Today, there is no farming, no fishing and no industry. The vast majority of people of Borno wake up to eat breakfast and not sure of where to eat again for the rest of the day.”
