No fewer than nine hundred children who were recruited into the ranks of the Civilian Joint Task Force in Maiduguri have been released.
UN child agency, UNICEF said more than three thousand, five hundred children were recruited between 2013 and 2017 for the ongoing conflict in northern Nigeria.
The CJTF is a local militia that helps the Nigerian security forces in the fight against insurgency in north-east Nigeria. It was formed in 2013, with the aim of protecting communities from attack.
“Any commitment for children that is matched with action is a step in the right direction for the protection of children’s rights and must be recognised and encouraged,” said Mohamed Fall, Representative of UNICEF in Nigeria and the Co-chair of United Nations Country Task Force on Monitoring and Reporting on Grave Child Rights Violations (CTFMR)
UNICEF said more than 1700 children (one thousand seven hundred) have been released since the civilian JTF signed an action plan in 2017 (twenty seventeen) to end child recruitment.
The body said it would not give up the fight for the children and would continue until there is no child left in the ranks of all armed groups in Nigeria.
The UN agency said it is working with the Nigerian government and local authorities to help reintegrate those released.
Boko Haram has fought for more than a decade, burning villages and attacking military bases and religious houses without discrimination.
