17 Year Old Boko Haram Member Arrested in Maiduguri
The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corp (NSCDC) have taken into custody, Ali Mustafa, a 17-year-old Boko Haram suspect, who admitted to killing 18 people since he joined the terrorist group 3 years ago.
While speaking to newsmen, the teenager said he was forced to join the group after he was kidnapped from his home, and separated from his mother and father.
I was forced to join Boko Haram about three years ago,” he said.
“Boko Haram insurgents came to our village and forcefully took many of us away. We were kept in the bush camp near Kala Balge and from there we carried out various operations, during which I personally killed 18 persons. I can handle all kinds of guns including AK-47 and AA (anti aircraft) rifle” He said
The Commandant of NSCDC, Ibrahim Abdullahi, paraded the young boy alongside other nine criminals who were arrested for other offences. Premium Times reports that Ali had initially denied being a member of Boko Haram, but later confessed that he was on a mission to go to Maiduguri to spy for his group, as he often did before attacks were carried out. He decided to change his mind on the way to Maiduguri and look for his parents.
“I was tired of killing people against my wish, so I told my two other colleagues with whom we were asked to go on a spying mission that we should abandon the mission and run. So I came to Maiduguri to search for my parents in the camps. But some IDPs who knew me as member of Boko Haram decided to report me to the security people” He said
The teenager said he belonged to the Mamman Nur group of Boko Haram where there were hundreds of young boys like him currently in the bush working for Boko Haram insurgency group.
