“The Nigerian military’s treatment of those who escape such brutality has also been appalling.”

Amnesty International said in a report titled “We dried our tears: Addressing the toll on children of Northeast Nigeria’s conflict’ released on Wednesday, said children were locked up alongside adult terrorists who sexually abuse them while military officials look the other way.

The report read in part, “The Nigerian military’s treatment of those who escape such brutality has also been appalling. From mass, unlawful detention in inhumane conditions, to meting out beatings and torture and allowing sexual abuse by adult inmates – it defies belief that children anywhere would be so grievously harmed by the very authorities charged with their protection.”

The report further stated that between November 2019 and April 2020, Amnesty interviewed more than 230 people affected by the conflict, including 119 who were children when they suffered serious crimes by Boko Haram, the Nigerian military, or both.
