UNICEF: 3,500 Children Recruited By Armed Groups In Nigeria's North-East | Sahara Reporters

The United Nations Children’s Fund has said more than 3,500 children, within the age range of 13-17, were recruited by non-state armed groups between 2013 and 2017 in Nigeria's North-East.

The UN agency said the number of those recruited could be higher as the 3,500 children were the ones that had been verified. Malick Fall, the UNICEF Representative in Nigeria, said: “Children should feel safe at home, in schools and on their playgrounds at all times.
