If N2000(less than £10) can be used to motivate a youth to burn houses, then the security issues in Nigeria might linger for a long time to come. Leaders steal money that would have been used to provide quality jobs, good education etc for the youth, then stranded youth then commit crimes just to make ends meet. That's the pitiable circle we have in Nigeria.
A young man in Borno is said to have confessed that he was paid by Boko Haram members to burn houses in a village in the state.
Ibrahim Tilitili, an indigene of Chibok, where over 200 girls were abducted, said that he was paid N2,000 to burn down a few houses at Mandara Girau village in the Biu Local Government Area of the state.
Ibrahim allegedly confessed that he received the money from one Mallam Sani who told him to burn the houses.
