According to him, the terrorists gave out N100,000 old naira notes to each person.
Bakura said, “We left Monguno at about 12 noon. As we approached Mairari, there were no existing checkpoints in the area; we were apprehensive.
“They stopped us and asked if we were going to Maiduguri, then they started giving each person 100,000 old naira notes, but we could not believe it. They gave each occupant of the Golf Volkswagen.”
Another source said the insurgents urged them to take the money to the bank and change it with new notes.
“The group simply told us, If you think you can go to their banks and change it to new naira, go and do so; may Allah make it beneficial to you,” the source said.
