For 6 years
Borno state was under siege by the deadly terror group Boko Haram. Homes,
schools, hospitals and public buildings were destroyed. More than these over
20,000 lives were lost.
22 local government areas out of the 27 local
government areas were captured by the insurgents. With the recent successes of
the Nigerian Military over the insurgents, life is gradually getting back to
normal in these parts. Now many are returning to their ancestral homes and the
State government is helping to rebuild these homes, schools, hospitals and
public administrative buildings.
It's costing so much money man power and other
resources. But the government is determined to change the world of a people
once under siege. In this 8 part series, ace broadcaster Emmanuel Ohiomokhare
visits the state to see how these lives are been rebuilt, the fear still
surrounding the people as Boko Haram still use weapons like child suicide
bombers to hit soft targets.
And the resolve of the people to fight the scourge
and get their lives to a place better than it was. It's a must watch and debuts
on AIT on Wednesday, April 12, 2017.
