leader sent her on suicide mission
- Three suspects had been arrested by the
military when they allegedly came for a
suicide mission at a military facility in
Jakana in Maiduguri

A 14 year old female suspected suicide
bomber has revealed how Boko Haram
leaders chose her to detonate an
Improvised Explosive Device in
Maiduguri because she refused to get
married to their members in Sambisa
forest.
Vanguard reports that the suspect is
among three suspects arrested by the
military when they allegedly came for a
suicide mission at a military facility in
Jakana in Maiduguri.
The leader of Boko Haram, Abubakar Shekau
The suspect said she was abducted with
her father, Usman, by Boko Haram
insurgents in Gwoza, Borno, in 2013.
She said she and her father were
running to Mandara mounting for
safety when they were abducted.
The suspect said she and her father
wanted to travel to Madagali in
Adamawa where he normally sold cows
before Boko Haram insurgents attacked
Gwoza.
“I have spent three years in the hands of
Boko Haram. Three different Boko
Haram (terrorists) had proposed to
marry me and I refused.
Two among them were commanders
(amir). “When I refused for the third
time, one of the commanders became
furious and threatened to kill me and
my father. I told him I would rather die
than marry a Boko Haram (terrorist).
“So, after one week, they said since I
have refused to get married, I should be
taken to Maiduguri for a suicide mission.
So, three of them held my hands and they
injected me. ”
Then, I never knew what was
happening again. ‘’I was taken to a
herbalist, who, after I regained
consciousness, told me that I had been
with him for 30 days.
“He told me he was preparing me for a
mission. So he gave me some water to
drink. I don’t know what it tasted like
but I drank it. So, he said they would
come and pick me today. ”
At about 7p.m. three Boko Haram
(members) came with a male and a
female. They were also recruited for the
mission like me. “We spent one and a
half days on the road to Maiduguri. It
was when we got to Maiduguri that they
strapped the bombs on our bodies.
At that moment I knew that I was going
to die, so I started crying. ” I was
watching when the first bomber, a
female, detonated her explosive close to
a military checkpoint which killed no one
but herself.
"The second, a male, was killed by the
military before he could detonate his. “At
that time something told me to remove
my own IED and surrender which I did. I
was surrounded by soldiers and
policemen and I fainted.”
When I woke, I discovered that one of
the policemen at the checkpoint was a
brother of my mother’s. I think that was
the reason I survived,’’ the suspect said.
Meanwhile, Maj.-Gen. Lucky Irabor, the
Theatre Commander of Operation
Lafiya Dole, said the suspects were
being de-radicalised at the military
detention facility. “We have quite a
number of them here in our facility.
"We have been profiling them and
making them feel comfortable. “So far,
from their testimonies, they usually tell
us that they were brainwashed by some
sort of charms to commit suicide,”
Irabor said.
