One of the Boko Haram insurgents, whose picture was among the 100
most wanted members of the terrorist sect, is believed to the missing
child of a police officer.
The children among the most wanted insurgents, are listed under 79,
80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85 and 99 in the pictures released by the Nigerian
Army.
The report quoted the security source as saying: “Nigerians
should not be agitated about these pictures. The military authorities
are not passing a sentence on the kids.
“They are declared wanted because they have committed heinous acts
against humanity. All these people were caught with weapons. Some of
them carried out gory activities too unpleasant to mention.
“The pictures are very necessary and they are serving a strong purpose. Do you know that a policeman saw his child among them?
“Many parents don’t even know that their children are now fighting on
the side of Boko Haram. The security agencies went a long way to get
these pictures for a purpose.
“The military is going after them to arrest the minors, not to kill
them. The motive is to prevent them from carrying out further acts
against humanity.”
