Missing Chibok girl turns suicide bomber, found in Cameroon

A young female suicide bomber, who was arrested by the Cam­eroon security operatives has said that she is one of the missing 219 school girls kidnapped from the board­ing house in Federal Gov­ernment School, Chibok in Borno State over two years ago.

The girl was on the verge of blowing herself in north­ern Cameroon, when the self-defense forces in the village arrested her and a fel­low female suicide bomber and handed them over to the military.

According to Reuters, two girls wired with explo­sives were intercepted on Friday, March 25, 2016, by local self-defence forces in the village of Limani, Cam­eroon, and were handed over to soldiers belonging to a multi-national force set up to take out the ter­rorists.

“One of them indeed declared that she is one of the Chibok hostages. She is around 15. We are now verifying, because on the Nigerian side they have the names and photos of these girls,” a local government administrator, Raymond Roksdo disclosed.

Two other military sources also confirmed that one of the detained suicide bombers claimed to be one of the abducted Chibok girls.

“We need a few days to be able to confirm this information. We have to debrief all the men who were present and interro­gated the two girls before we can say anything,” one of the military sources was quoted.

Nearly three years after a high-profile attack by the Boko Haram militants in which the girls were taken captives, there has been no clue as to their whereabouts.
