Obi, while speaking yesterday in Abuja at a workshop on Community of Practice on Preventing Violent Extremism in the country, stressed the need to strengthen private sector collaboration to curb the menace in the country. Between 2005 and 2020, over 266,000 UN verified violations against children have been committed by parties to conflict in more than 30 conflict situations across Africa, Asia, the Middle East and Latin America.

“Between 2005 and 2020 in West and Central Africa, more than 7,600 children have been verified as killed or maimed in situations of armed conflict,” the report partly read. “Over 42,000 children have been verified as recruited and used by parties to the conflict,” it added.
