The Nigerian Army have appealed to
religious, traditional and community leaders,
as well as all well-meaning Nigerians
especially in the North East of our country, to
help dissuade people from donating their
daughters or wards, to Boko Haram
terrorists for indoctrination and suicide
bombing missions.
A statement issued on Saturday by Brigadier
General Sani Kukasheka Usman, Director
Army Public Relations, said the appeal
became expedient in view of recent
revelations by some intercepted female
suicide bombers during interrogations.
“It was discovered that most of these
hapless minors were “donated” to the
terrorists sect by their heartless and
misguided parents and guardians, as part of
their contribution to the perpetuation of the
Boko Haram terrorists’ dastardly acts
against the Nigerian society and humanity.
“The acts of these parents and guardians
are not only barbaric, but condemnable and
unacceptable.
“Nigerians 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.
“Consequently, the public are kindly
requested 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.
“You can report by calling 193 on any
network. The public is also please reminded
that the Nigerian Army’s 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.”
