The girl, who was identified as Zahra’u Babangida, was arrested in Kano on December 10 following a double suicide bombing in a market that killed 10 people.

She was presented to journalists by police and instructed to recount how Islamist militants allegedly forced her to take part in the attack.

She said her mother and father, both Boko Haram sympathisers, took her to an insurgent hideout in a forest near the town of Gidan Zana in Kano state.
She said one alleged militant leader asked her whether she knew what a suicide bombing was.

“They said, ‘Can you do it?’ I said no.
“They said, ‘You will go to heaven if you do it.’ I said ‘No I can’t.’ They said they would shoot me or throw me into a dungeon,” Zahra’u told journalists.

There was no way to independently verify her story and she had no lawyer present. No information was available concerning the whereabouts of her parents.

Police said they had instructed the girl to tell her story to boost public awareness about those responsible for the December 10 attack.

Faced with the threat of death, Zahra’u said she finally agreed to take part in the attack but “never had any intention of doing it.”

Several days later, Zahra’u said, she and three other girls, all wearing explosives, were brought to the Kantin Kwari market by unidentified men.

Zahra’u said she was injured when one of the girls detonated her bomb and then she fled the scene, ending up at a hospital on the outskirts of Kano where she was discovered to be carrying explosives.

Boko Haram has increasingly used female suicide bombers, including teenagers, as part of their five-year insurgency.

Kano, the largest city in the mainly Muslim north, saw four such attacks in one week in July, while similar bombings have hit the states of Bauchi and Niger.

Experts say the group has used girls as bombers to demonstrate the range of tactics they have available to sow fear across Nigeria.

If confirmed, Zahra’u’s story would be the first known case of parents volunteering their daughter to take part in a deadly attack.
Violence in northern Nigeria has intensified in recent months, raising security fears ahead of February 14 elections.

Trash..

what a wicked world..will God forgive those adult that called themselves parents..hmmm

all dis people self

Dat shows d highest level of Madness...Deluded.extremists

Okay..

I wonder the kind of parent that would freely donate their beautiful daughter to such cause. They should have volunteered themselves to go commit the suicide. I'm happy the young girl refused to detonate hers, thereby saving the lives of many. I'll suggest she'd be flown out of the country and rehabilitated, for her safety sake. As for her parents...

NORTHERNERS... Very bloody , violent and heartless people.
Just look at this beautifully innocent girl, It is so unfortunate.

I just dey make fp. ehen na una sabi idiats

islam why?!


To those who will like to rain abuse......may thunder fire you in advance.

When common men/women begin to donate their kids for suicide bombing what else can the government do for such people? These people are their own worst enemies.

And we still can't get useful information from these peeps. God help my country

The north has really created more problem for us as a nation than any other region.

Some northerners think like a cow! If not all though.

wat a wretched world

IGNORANCE

The way these evil parents found the equally evil forest where the bokos hide.....why can't the secret services and police use intelligence gathered to find such places on their own and rout the vermin?

There is something fishy about this story tho. If true: then the parents should roast in hell.. But this sounds like a cover Up story, incase the bomb fails to detonate..
