bad news:chibok girls almost turning suicide bombers

One of the young women who
was arrested in Cameroon who
claims to be a Chibok girl had 12
kilogram of bombs with her.
The regional governor Midjiyawa
Bakari said that the second
would be suicide bomber also
wear a belt load of 12 kilos of explosives.
He said: “Two suicide bombers
were arrested by members of
Limani’s vigilance committee.
“Each of them was carrying 12
kilos of explosives and was
looking for a place to blow
themselves up during the Easter
weekend. at the time of questioning, one of them
said she was “one of the girls
kidnapped from Chibok girls in
Nigeria, but we are treating this
statement with caution,” the
governor stated adding that the
matter would be investigated.
“Such terrorists are
often drugged and can say
anything,” he added.
The two girls were taken for
investigation by the Cameroonian
force of the five-nation force set
up to fight Boko Haram that also
comprises Nigeria, Benin, Chad
and Niger.
The BringBackOurGirls (BBOG)
group has said that the supposed
suicide bomber is a victim
despite the situation.
The BBOG added that the claim
by the young girl should re-
awaken the Nigerian authorities
on the need to quickly rescue the
Chibok girls who will soon be
celebrating two years in
captivity.
“This development suggests that
we now have a possible source
of credible intelligence as to
what transpired, where the
others are, and other leads
required to facilitate their
rescue.
“Regardless of whether she is
one of our Chibok girls or not,
our thoughts and sentiments
remain the same.
“Using children, girls who should
be in school (or any humans at
all) as suicide bombers is not
only tragic and cruel, it is
completely reprehensible and we
denounce it;
“These children suicide bomber
are themselves victims, and
must be seen and treated as
such,” the group said in a
statement.
Presidential media aide Garba
Shehu has said that two parents
from Chibok selected to embark
on the trip to Cameroon to verify
the identity of thee girl are
Yakubu Nkeki, chairman of the
Chibok Abducted Girls
Movement, and Yana Galang, the
group’s women leader, whose
16-year-old daughter Rifkatu is
among the missing.
He said: “We hope that the
Chibok parents will be able to
identify the girl and determine
whether she is indeed one of
their missing students.”
276 schoolgirls were abducted
by the Boko Haram on April 14,
2014 as they were preparing for
end-of-year exams in the Chibok
town. This development caused
an international outrage.
Later 57 of girls managed to
escape within hours of the
attack, but there has been no
news about the remaining 219
still held in captivity.
