‘I’m one of Chibok girls’, pleads arrested suicide bomber

A suspected suicide bomber intercepted in northern Cameroon on Friday before she could blow herself up claimed to be one of 219 schoolgirls kidnapped by Boko Haram in the Nigerian town of Chibok in 2014, military and local government sources said. 

Two girls carrying explosives were stopped by local self-defence forces in the village of Limani, in an area of northern Cameroon that has been the target of frequent suicide bombings in recent months, reports Reuters.

They were then handed over to Cameroonian soldiers belonging to a multi-national force set up to take on Boko Haram.
