I Earned 5,000 Naira To Burn School, Says Teenage Boko Haram Recruit.

"One of the Boko Haram suspects presented to Borno State Governor, Kashim Shettima, said he was given 5,000 Naira to burn our school," an official of the Borno State Government told channels Television on Saturday. The Special Assistant to the Borno State Government on Communication, Mr. Oas Gusau, said that the nine-year old recruit made the confession in 2014 after some suspected terrorists were presented over to the Borno State government by the military. Given an account of what transpired when the suspects were presented to the Governor, he said: The Governor asked one of them how come he was recruited into Boko Haram. He was just nine years old. He said he was given 5,000 Naira to spy on the soldiers while another said he was given 5,000 Naira to burn our school. "There was another lady who was being paid 10,000 Naira to smuggle arms," Mr. Gusau said.
