A new report has revealed how the Nigerian Army resorted to killing children fathered by insurgents to tackle terrorism in the beleaguered north eastern part of the country. <\/p>\n

Top army commanders allegedly ordered soldiers to \u201cdelete\u201d children born to insurgents, Reuters disclosed in its In the investigation published on Monday. <\/a><\/p>\n

According to the report, the directive was issued \u201cbecause the children were assumed to be collaborating with militants in Boko Haram or its Islamic State offshoot, or to have inherited the tainted blood of insurgent fathers\u201d.<\/p>\n

The international news agency disclosed that more than 40 soldiers and civilians interviewed for the investigation said they witnessed officers of the Nigerian military \u201ckill children or saw children\u2019s corpses after a military operation\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cIntentional killings of children have occurred with a blurring frequency across the region during the war, according to witnesses interviewed by Reuters,\u201d the investigation reads in part.<\/p>\n

\u201cMore than 40 sources said they saw the Nigerian military target and kill children or saw the dead bodies of children after a military operation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese sources included both parents and other civilian witnesses, as well as soldiers who said they participated in dozens of military operations in which children were slaughtered. Together, their estimates added up to thousands of children killed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reuters said it could not independently verify the estimate that thousands of children were killed during military operations against insurgency.<\/p>\n

But the news agency said six specific incidents investigated by reporters indicated that at least 60 children were killed in those incidents.<\/p>\n

In the investigation, Yagana Bukar, a mother of twins, narrated how soldiers \u201csmothered\u201d her four-month-old twin boys after she and a group of other women and children escaped from Boko Haram fighters.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe soldiers said they killed those children because they are children of Boko Haram \u2014 they are not human beings,\u201d Bukar said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey threatened me that if I wasn\u2019t careful and didn\u2019t keep quiet, they would kill me as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

In another witness\u2019 testimony, a soldier reportedly said he enjoys killing children who were suspected to be fathered by insurgents due to the belief that they may grow up to become insurgents.<\/p>\n

\u201cSoldiers often cited as a reason for killing children the belief that if their fathers were insurgents, then they would grow up to be the same,\u201d the report reads.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe killing was also a way for some officers to avenge heavy losses in fighting with Islamist insurgents, or for soldiers to vent their anger over the deaths of their comrades.<\/p>\n

\u201cOther soldiers said they had adopted a kill-or-be-killed attitude toward children because insurgents used them as fighters, informants and suicide bombers.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
