The Non-Government Organization
put the number of Widows in Maiduguri the capital city of Borno to be more than
10,000 due to the perpetrated B’Haram Islamic sec.
“My prayer is for our government to rise up
and enact a law to protect these women. If they were left with the things their
husbands had before they died, the condition of some of them would not be as
bad. But some of them, even before they finished the burial of their husbands,
would not be able to lay hold on any of their properties. And this is where it
is important for women to be educated. If the government doesn’t enact a law to
protect widows their suffering will continue to increase.”
