The Nigerian Army has appealed to well-meaning Nigerians in the North-East to discourage their people from donating their daughters to Boko Haram.

Spokesman of the force Brig.-Gen. Sani Usman said in a statement that the appeal became necessary following revelations by some intercepted female suicide bombers during interrogations.

He said interrogations had revealed that some parents and guardians in the North-East were involved in the act of donating their daughters to the terrorists for indoctrination and suicide bombing missions.

”The acts of these parents and guardians are not only barbaric, but condemnable and unacceptable,” the statement read.

”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 sympathisers through suicide bombings.”

He called for vigilance and security consciousness among 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 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,” he added.
