Trauma: FG Advised After Little Boy Was Spotted Drawing Guns On A Wall In Yobe

Nigerians have expressed their fear over the spate of insecurity in the Northern part of the country after a photo of a young boy surfaced on Twitter drawing series of guns and ammunition on a wall in his neighbourhood.

Netizens urged the government to treat with fairness all survivors of insurgency in the country so as to avoid transgenerational trauma.

Bulama Bukarti, a lawyer and columnist who shared the photo on his Twitter account, revealed that the boy was found doing the drawings on a wall of a neighbour somewhere in Damaturu.

He wrote: “My NCE teacher, Lawan Cheri, saw this boy drawing this on the wall of a neighbour in Damaturu.

“This tells you everything about the experiences of the children in the northeast. To stop transgenerational trauma, survivors must be properly treated and community healing promoted.”
