The Nigerian Army has made a shock discovery about how Boko Haram has been getting the supply of female suicide bombers.
Army spokesman, Brigadier Gen. Sani Usman said the girls were donated by their parents, according to some of the would-be-bombers apprehended and who made revealing statements during interrogations.
โIt was discovered that most of these hapless minors were โdonatedโ to the terrorists sect by their heartless and misguided parents and guardians, as part of their contribution to the perpetuation of the Boko Haram terroristsโ dastardly acts against the Nigerian society and humanityโ, Usman said.
โThe acts of these parents and guardians are not only barbaric, but condemnable and unacceptableโ, he added.
He appealed to religious, traditional and community leaders, and well-meaning Nigerians in the North-East, to dissuade their people from donating their daughters to Boko Haram for indoctrination and suicide bombing missions.
โNigerians have a responsibility and obligation to collectively mould our children and wards and define a better future for them rather than condemning them to death by the criminal Boko Haram terrorists and their sympathizers through suicide bombings,โ Usman said.
He urged the people to be more vigilant, security conscious and report any suspicious persons or those whose daughters or female wards are missing or have not been seen recently.
โ You can report by calling 193 on any network.
โThe public is also reminded that the Nigerian Armyโs offer and reward of the sum of Five Hundred Thousand Naira (N500,000.00) to anybody that provide information about suicide bombing, is still valid,โ he added.
