A video has surfaced on Facebook where an Almajiri boy was seen showing soldiers what he learnt from Boko Haram camp. He showed them a series of shooting positions and how to move around when they want to attack and defend during the war.
According to the Facebook post:
Innocent children (Almajiri) are being recruited into insurgency in the north, due to hunger as poverty. These are children given birth by parents who can not care for them, that is why they are easily recruited. Emir Sanusi and Sultan of Sokoto has warned against having children that parents can’t take care of.
Sultan of Sokoto has also warned that something worse than Boko Haram might soon start in the north if care is not taken.
