It noted that many villages in areas under Boko Haram control were populated by older people who are unable to flee or who choose to stay and continue working on their land.
The global human rights group said it reviewed more than 120 images of corpses brought from the barracks to a local mortuary, and spoke to individuals with insider knowledge who estimated that “15-25 per cent of those who have perished are older men.” The research carried out between November 2019 and October 2020 involved 62 older women and 71 older men affected by the conflict.
Speaking on the alleged killings by the military, she stated, “Nigeria’s military, in turn, has repeatedly shot older people to death in their own homes during raids on villages in Boko Haram-controlled areas.
Yes here they are again, false accusations by LTO
Aged people are the ones destroyed this country, they use politics, religious, tribalism etc to divide Nigeria
This isn’t far from the truth as the military is filled with deranged people suffering from PTSD. This is the reason why several brutalities from their personnel are reported daily across the country. Aged people too are more vulnerable to this brutalities.
