The Nigerian Army has revealed that some of the suicide bombers being used by the Boko sect are actually donated by their parents.
The Army made the revelation in a press release signed by its Director of Public Relations, Sani Usman.
The Army, therefore, 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.
Usman said the appeal became necessary 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 terrorist 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,” Usman said in the statement.
“The acts of these parents and guardians are not only barbaric but condemnable and unacceptable. “
He noted that Nigerians have a responsibility and obligation to collectively mould their children and wards and define a better future for them rather than condemning them to death by the criminal Boko Haram terrorists and their sympathisers through suicide bombings.
“Consequently, the public is 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,” the Army spokesman said.
“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 provides information about suicide bombing, is still valid.”
