A video released this week by the Nigerian terrorist group Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) appears to show armed children executing two military officers. Security experts say the recruitment of Nigerian children into violent extremism is hampering efforts by authorities to end the insurgency. In the video, young militants around 12 years old are seen shooting two men in the head who are dressed in Nigeria military uniforms. This is not the first time armed groups have released video of child soldiers executing abductees. Security intelligence groups say child soldiers are often used by the terrorists as spies and informants to gather intelligence from target communities.
