Boko Haram terrorists are desperately
recruiting young people into their fold having
been decimated and degraded by the Nigerian
Military. The Borno State commandant of the
Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps,
NSCDC, Ibrahim Abdullahi, has said.
He made the revelation following the kidnap
of 10 persons, including four women and 6
youths, from communities in Kodnuga Local
Government Area of Borno State by
suspected Boko Haram fighters.
Abdullahi called on citizens of the state who
longed to return to their homes to be careful
and not live in areas that are not well secured
by the army as the insurgents now kidnap
people and force them into becoming
jihadists.
Abdullahi told the News Agency of Nigeria,
NAN, in Maiduguri on Tuesday that the
insurgents had also invaded Mittiri, Akalli and
Arribbari villages in the same Konduga local
government area.
NAN reports that Internally Displaced Persons
from Konduga, a town located few kilometers
away from Maiduguri, the Borno State capital,
have been returning home with the hope of
rebuilding their lives.
Official estimates have it that more than
100,000 persons have been killed since the
Boko Haram insurgency began in 2009, while
more than 2 million people have been
displaced.
