*Boko Haram And Nigerian Forces Killed, Maimed 881 Children In 2017 – UN*

The United Nations says 881 children were either killed or maimed by Boko Haram and Nigerians Security Forces in 2017. This was contained in the UN Secretary-General’s report on ‘children and armed conflict’. Many of the casualties were recorded after aerial bombardments and the targeting of children suspected to be carrying person-borne improvised explosive devices.

“The United Nations verified a total of 881 children killed (570) and maimed (311) in Nigeria, attributed to Boko Haram (620) and to Nigerian Security Forces (NSF) (261),” the report read in part. Almost half of all casualties resulted from su***de attacks perpetrated by Boko Haram (including the use of children as carriers of person-borne improvised explosive devices) (411).

The report added, “With regard to NSF, casualties were caused by aerial bombardments (235) and the targeting of children suspected to be carrying person-borne improvised explosive devices (26).” The Nigerian military has yet to respond the report, despite repeated calls and messages by Channels Television.
