IGBO Welfare Association, IWA, a socio-cultural body for Igbo people residing in Borno State, weekend, said more than 200 members of the Igbo community lost their lives and property worth millions of naira since the beginning of insurgency in the state.
President general of the association in the state, Chief Maclaw Nwaogu, gave the figures during the inauguration of the new executives and award ceremony at Barwee International Hotel in Maiduguri, the state capital.
Nwaogu appealed to Governor Kashim Shettima to assist the Ndigbo who had been rendered widows and orphans as well as other non indigenes, many of whom he said had migrated but still suffering destitution as a result of the loss of their breadwinners to the Boko Haram insurgency.
