A 13-year-old girl has
been arrested by Special Forces of the Nigerian Army Unit in Gwoza,
Borno State for allegedly spying on military formation for members of
the Boko Haram.
A security source revealed that the soldiers who picked her up found an
AK 47 assault rifle in her residence.
According to reports from Nigerian Eye, the girl led the soldiers to
three others girls who were also said to have been recruited by Boko
Haram to spy on military formations.
The source added that the military was also concerned that some of
the abducted girls of Government Secondary School, Chibok, who have been
in custody of the insurgents since April could be indoctrinated for
such dangerous assignments.
The source said, “Do you know what is happening now in Gwoza? There
are signs now that the insurgents may be using young girls to spy on
military formations in the area.
“This week, soldiers arrested a 13-year-old girl for spying on a
military formation in Gwoza. When the girl was arrested and questioned,
she took the soldiers to three other girls who are also spying for the
insurgents.
“The girls are being interrogated. In fact, there are concerns that
those people might use some of those Chibok girls for such a dangerous
mission when they are eventually released.”
Our correspondent could not reach the Director of Defence
Information, Maj.-Gen. Chris Olukolade, for his comments as calls to his
mobile telephone line did not connect.
Also on Wednesday, the Federal Government appealed to individuals
and corporate- organisations to donate relief materials to people
displaced as a result of the Boko Haram insurgency.
The Coordinator of the National Information Centre, Mr. Mike Omar,
who said this at a press conference in Abuja, said, “We appeal to
spirited individuals and corporate organisations who wish to donate
relief materials to get in contact with this Centre (NIC) and/ or NEMA.”
Already, the National Emergency Management Agency has delivered
relief materials to Chibok, Gamboru, parts of Yobe State, Kano and Jos
“and is currently mobilising for Mubi, as well as Kalabalge.
When asked to react to report that the Australian government offered
to help Nigeria find the Chibok girls, Omeri said, “As far as I am
concerned so far, it is still within the realm of newspaper
speculations. Maybe they have another source which is not known to us.
“At the moment, I am aware that the ArchBishop of Canterbury is in
Nigeria, the Pope has spoken about it and some other local and
international leaders have been speaking about it. Do not forget, this
is Nigeria which is a free country and we are not going to tag this
insurgency as religious. What we are after is a nationalistic approach
to the unfortunate situation. Nigeria is also a member of the
Organisation of Islamic Countries and the organisation has a
responsibility to this country.”
When contacted on Wednesday evening by one of our correspondents,
Omeri stated, “I have checked with the ministry of foreign affairs, they
