14-year-old Escapee Claims Bokoharam’s Jihad Is False by Adeoba10(m): 8:42am On Feb 17, 2015
A Fourteen year-old boy, identified as Alaji, from
kerenua, who was forced to serve the terrorist
group, Boko Haram, has narrated his ordeal after
being kidnapped by the extremists recently.
The teenager explained in an interactive session
that he was abducted at gunpoint by two men on
a motorcycle and taken to a town where he saw
hundreds of fighters of the terrorist group.
According him, “I was abducted at gun point by
two men on a motorcycle and taken to a town
occupied by the group. After a day, we moved to
another town, then another, that was how we
kept on.
“There were lots of us, I saw hundreds of fighters,
there were also many captives, but all of us,
including the captives, were set on groups but not
in one place within the camps”, he said.
Talking about the activities in the camp, Alaji said
that the females in the camp were morally and
sexually abused while the males were being sent
on errands.
“There were lots of women in the camps, they
raped and abused them.
“For boys, we run errands but everyone knows
the repercussion for disobedience, they enforce
discipline; they don’t let captives to mix freely,”
he stated, adding that “this goes to show that the
jihad they claim to be waging is not true”.
On part of their recruitment strategies, he stressed
that they were selected based on their strengths.
“We were selected based on our strengths; they
put us in trucks and armoured personal carriers.
“They gave the weaker ones gallons of petrol to
burn houses and buildings, and the stronger ones
bullets and guns. Our responsibility to deliver this,
is to fight on the battle fields during attacks,” the
fourteen year old stated.
Alaji, who was forcefully drafted by Boko Haram,
spoke on the biggest loss and the most
frightening battle he experienced with the group.
“The biggest loss I witnessed with Boko Haram
was in Gamboru in the hands of the military. The
Leader was so furious that he shot and killed two
commanders right before us.
“The most frightening battle was the attack on
Baga. When the town was attacked, initially it
was difficult to break through,” Alaji said.
He added that the residents came after them and
they were left with no choice than to retreat.
Alaji also said the residents were later supported
by the Multinational Joint Task Force, who seized
equipment and ammunition from the terrorist
group.
He said the group comprised fighters from Nigeria
and other countries, adding that some of the
foreign fighters insisted that the campaign they
waged in Nigeria be extended to their countries.
Alaji later revealed that some unidentified people
do come at night to meet with the leaders of the
terrorist group.
“At night, we see a convoy of cars that include
armoured tanks, and then a green helicopter will
arrive. Those inside will then meet the top
commanders.
“Whenever we see the aircraft arrive then go, then
we know that the next day, a major attack would
be launched. But people like us are not allowed to
go near the leaders”.
He further explained that he was able to escape
in the course of an attacked to be launched in
Mongolo.
“I was ordered to carry two fighters on
motorcycle to Mongolo, where we arrived at
dawn. The first attack was on the military
barracks there.
“When residents of Mongolo were leaving, I seized
the opportunity and rode off with the motorcycle
and headed to Maiduguri where I was taken to
my parents, who I lost contact with since the day
I was taken.
“Everybody thought I was dead or I had formally
joined the group”, Alaji said.
