Borno State Senator Khalid Ahmed Zanna painted a grim picture of more than 100,000 widows who lost husbands, and chief breadwinners, in the more than five years of the Boko Haram insurgency. A staggering number of deaths, and carnage, to much of the country's northern tier, attributed to the actions of the Islamist group. Entire villages have disappeared, said the Senator, in strident comments that drove home a conflict that has dogged Nigerian elected officials in recent years.
