Hundreds of Nigerian Boko Haram terrorists who are being held at Hajj camp in Borno State after surrendering rioted on Friday over N30,000 allowances promised by Government.

The ex-militants blocked the Bulumkutu- Maiduguri Highway creating gridlock and tension among residents in the area.

Per Zagazola, 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.
