This very young Boko Haram terrorist was recently arrested by Nigerian troops during a clearance operation in the Northeast.
In this picture, he demonstrates how he and other kids like him were taught to use firearms by Boko Haram trainers.

See how Transparency International responded to Prime Minister David Cameron's remark that Nigerian and Afghan leaders are fantastically corrupt.
Responding to the recent comments by David Cameron, Cobus de Swardt, Managing Director of Transparency International said:
“There is no doubt that historically, Nigeria and Afghanistan have had very high levels of corruption, and that continues to this day. But the leaders of those countries have sent strong signals that they want things to change, and the London Anti-Corruption Summit creates an opportunity for all the countries present to sign up to a new era. This affects the UK as much as other countries: we should not forget that by providing a safe haven for corrupt assets, the UK and its Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies are a big part of the world’s corruption problem.”
The Presidency has taken exception to the remark by British Prime Minister, David Cameron that Nigerian leaders are fantastically corrupt.
The Senior Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu conveyed the feeling of the seat of power in a statement he issued on Tuesday.
RE: Prime Minister David Cameron's comments on Nigeria today:
"This is embarrassing to us, to us say the least, given the good work that the President is doing. The eyes of the world are on what is happening here. The Prime Minister must be looking at an old snapshot of Nigeria. Things are changing with corruption and everything else."
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC has been granted the warrant to detain the spokesman of Goodluck Jonathan Campaign Organization, Femi Fani-Kayode beyond the normal time approved by the law.
Fani-Kayode is being questioned over his receipt of public funds amounting to N840m from the N4b allegedly paid out by the Office of the National Security Adviser, ONSA in the run up to the 2015 general elections.
A source from the anti graft agency said that the remand warrant would enable its operatives to thoroughly investigate how Fani-Kayode got the money, what he used it for and who benefited from it.
