Boko Haram now recruiting child soldiers - MNJTF - Edoman - 08-13-2020 Boko Haram now recruiting child soldiers - MNJTF The Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF) has raised an alarm of Boko Haram recruiting child soldiers to resuscitate its declining influence in the Lake Chad Basin. Nigerian army colonel and Chief of Military Public Information for MNJTF, Timothy Antigha who revealed this in a statement released from N’Djamena – Chad on Thursday August 12, said the disturbing development was brought in by intelligence sources and corroborated by concerned individuals and groups days ago. Antigha who noted that the recent recruitment of child soldiers by the terrorist group might be due to the recent mass surrender of its members to the military, said the intelligence was confirmed after the terrorist group released a video of children dressed in military fatigue and holding assault rifles during the Sallah celebrations. He said; Quote:"Earlier, Boko Haram have engaged in the mass abduction of school girls, sexual enslavement of women and mass murder of innocent civilians. Antigha also warned youths against falling for the terrorist group's promises of power and influence, economic prosperity and spiritual growth. He added; Quote:“The stories of hardship and evil within the terrorist organisations as revealed by all surrendered Boko Haram fighters should be sufficient notice that Boko Haram and ISWAP have nothing good to offer anyone. b |
