The house of
the former leader of the insurgent group, Boko Haram, Mohammed Yusuf will
be converted to a museum, the Borno government
has said.
The state Commissioner for Home Affairs, Information and
Culture, Dr Mohammed
Bulama, disclosed this at the sidelines of the 9th National
Council for Culture, Tourism and National Orientation held in Dutse, Jigawa.
The Council with the theme “Tourism and Culture as Panacea for
Nigeria’s Economic Recovery’’ was organised by the Federal Ministry
of Information and Culture.
“We are going
to convert the house of the leader of the Boko Haram sect Mohammed Yusuf where
the insurgency all started from, to a museum.
“The place is called Maarcas; we want to build a museum there where
all the things that had happened relating to the insurgency will be archived.
“We want to document and archive all that had happened so that our
future generation will be able to have first-hand information,” he
said.
