Addressing widows of slain police officers in Kano state, North West Nigeria, the committee’s chairman Tanimu Turaki said the federal government will not abandon them as preparations are on-going to provide them with all the necessary compensation. (source:www.boko-haram.blogspot.com)
It is reported that many of the widows have left the police barracks and now probably homeless.
Mr Turaki promised to include the widows and their children in the committee’s recommendations to the President.
Speaking on the state of emergency declared in Borno, Yobe and Adamawa state, the chairman said President Jonathan has not declared war with Boko Haram and that the state of emergency will not affect his committee’s performance in any way.

The committee stated that it will continue to interact with concerned authority until it discovers ways of reaching out to the leadership of Boko Haram sect.
