Mansur Dan-Ali, the Minister of Defence, has revealed that the female suicide bomber, who was arrested in Cameroon, was indeed abducted from Chibok community in Borno, by Boko Haram insurgents.
The minister made the disclosure on Wednesday, in an interview with Voice of America, where he stated that the suspect was not among the over 200 girls abducted from the Government Secondary School, Chibok, on April 14, 2014.
Dan-Ali said: “She was one of the Chibok girls but not associated with the earlier ones (the Chibok schoolgirls). We have gotten a report that the girl was taken from Chibok but not among those that were earlier captured.”
The minister also stated that the terrorist sect had been using girls as suicide bombers while noting that the military was making efforts to locate the Chibok girls who might have been dispersed in different locations by their abductors.
“Nobody can keep all the 250 girls in a particular place. So, these girls might have been distributed. Remember that for some time now, they have been using girls as bombers.”
“All along we have been trying to track them (the girls). Specifically, if I tell you that they are in a specific place, it is difficult.”
