Confirming the recruitment centre on Thursday in Maiduguri, a counter-insurgency expert in the Lake Chad region, Zagazola Makama, disclosed that the terrorists had erected two hangers in the centre.

“The intention of the terror group was to teach extremist views to the boys and girls that are unemployed in the Sahel region,” he noted.

Makama said there has been influx of Boko Haram terrorists fleeing continued Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) onslaughts at Sambisa Forest in Borno State, Northeast of Nigeria.

The development, he added, was resulting in attack and kidnap of many people from Niger Republic.
