The Borno State Governor, Babagana Zulum, has today warned youths who took part in #EndSARS protests across the country to be careful, saying that was exactly how terrorists group, Boko Haram started.
Zulum, whose state is the boiling point for the insurgents said it all started when the youths commenced a protest against the use of motorcycle helmets in the state capital, Maiduguri.
The governor gave the warning, while fielding questions from an interview with State House correspondents, after he attended a meeting with the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

Zulum expressed anger over the fact that over one million people have been displaced as a result of Boko Haram activities which were fallouts of the protests against the use of helmet.
He therefore warned the #EndSARS protesters, noting that while innocent people are bearing the brunt of Boko Haram, some of the arrowheads of the protest have relocated from the state to Abuja, Lagos or abroad.
The governor said, “On the issue of #EndSARS, I am calling on all Nigerians especially the youths to be very careful.
“The whole Boko Haram saga started as a result of the protests by some youths in Maiduguri against the use of helmet by motorcycle riders. You have seen the situation now.
