THE Nigerian military is holding thousands of children in horrific conditions in detention camps on suspicion of being members of the dreaded insurgent group, Boko Haram, Human Right Watch (HRW) said in a report released today.

HRW said children are held without charge for months or years in squalid and severely overcrowded military barracks, with no contact with the outside world.

It said some were arrested at age five years, with some spending years in military detention.

The 50-Page-report which was made available to The ICIR, titled “They didn’t know if I was alive or dead: Military Detention of children for suspected Boko Haram involvement in Northeast Nigeria”, documents how the Nigerians authorities are detaining children, often based on little or no evidence.

HRW in its report, recommended that Nigerian authorities should immediately release children currently in military custody

The report further stated that children described beating, overwhelming heat, frequent hunger and being packed tightly in their cells with hundreds of other detainees like razor-blades in a pack, as one former detainee said.
