The Nigerian Army has stated that its offer and reward of the sum of N500,000 to anybody that provides information about suicide bombing, is still valid.
The Force made this known in a statement by its Director, Public Relations, Brigadier General Sani Kukasheka Usman.
The statement also revealed that some parents offer their children to Boko Haram terrorists for indoctrination and suicide bombing missions, while stressing the need for such persons to put a stop to the act.
“The Nigerian Army wishes to appeal to religious, traditional and community leaders, as well as all well-meaning Nigerians especially in the north east of our country, to help dissuade people from donating their daughters or wards, to boko haram terrorists for indoctrination and suicide bombing missions.
“This appeal became expedient in view of recent revelations by some intercepted female suicide bombers during interrogations. It was discovered that most of these hapless minors were “donated” to the terrorists’ sect by their heartless and misguided parents and guardians, as part of their contribution to the perpetuation of the Boko Haram terrorists’ dastardly acts against the Nigerian society and humanity.
“The acts of these parents and guardians are not only barbaric, but condemnable and unacceptable. 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 sympathizers through suicide bombings.
“Consequently, the public are kindly requested to be more vigilant, security conscious and report any suspicious persons or those whose daughters or female wards are missing or have not been seen recently.
“The public is also please reminded that the Nigerian Army’s offer and reward of the sum of five hundred thousand Naira (N500,000) to anybody that provide information about suicide bombing, is still valid.”
