43 Boko Haram child soldiers have been rescued by the Chadian army in Damasak, Borno state. Spokesperson of Chadian Army,
Col. Azem Agouna, while revealing this yesterday April 22nd, said the
children, all aged between 12 and above and of Chadian nationality
managed to escape during the clashes between insurgents and soldiers, while local families helped them to
hide from the militias.
He explained that when it was certain that Boko
Haram had been
defeated and would not return to the town, the children came out of
their hiding places and asked Chadian security forces for help. The
spokesman said the children have been repatriated back to Chad while a
full scale investigation into how they were abducted will be launched.
