“They (Boko Haram refugees) will soon start showing up on the Mediterranean’s shores,” the report quoted a source close to Nigeria’s National Intelligence Agency as saying.
“Some of these people are trained suicide bombers and fighters, including children as young as 10. They have all been indoctrinated by Boko Haram and they could soon turn up in Europe’s capitals,” the source added.
The report adds that human traffickers from Boko Haram are transporting girls and young men across the Sahara Desert into Libya.

Meanwhile, the United Nation’s (UN) International Organisation for Migration (IOM) has warned that trafficking of Nigerian women from Libya to Italy is reaching “crisis” levels.
According to the IOM, about 3,600 Nigerian women arrived by boat into Italy in the first half of 2016 and more than 80% of that number will be trafficked into prostitution in Italy and across Europe.
