Terrorists Using Girls As Sex Slaves, Suicide Bombers -Forum

The National Counter Terrorism Centre, NCTC, has said that terrorist groups are using young girls as sex slaves and suicide missions wreaking havoc in various parts of the country.

The centre’s national coordinator, Major-General Adamu Laka, made this known on Wednesday in Abuja at the launch of a Technical Assistance Project on promotion and support for the rights and needs of victims of terrorism through the implementation of the model legislative provisions.

According to him, women, children, and youth have been disproportionately affected over the years.

“We have seen children abducted and forcibly trained to fight, young girls used in suicide missions and exploited as sex slaves, and survivors left with deep scars of trauma and stigmatisation.

“Tragically, children born out of forced marriages often face rejection and isolation. The case of the Chibok girls and other similar abductions serve as grim reminders of the enduring impact of terrorism on our society.

“These tragic events have shattered families and left entire communities grappling with fear, loss and a deep sense of insecurity,” he said.
