Suspected suicide bomber who claimed to be a Chibok girl receives treatment in Cameroon- Presidency

The Presidency says that the Cameroonian
health and security officials today started the
treatment of an arrested suicide bomber who
claimed to be one of the 219 missing Chibok
girls. The girl was arrested last week Friday
while trying to bomb Limani village in Northern
Cameroon.
A statement by presidential spokesperson,
Garba Shehu, says the pictures of the arrested
suspected bomber obtained by Nigerian officials
indicated that the girl was likely a minor,
between ages nine to 12 years.
Her accomplice was about 30 years or more,
and both spoke only in Kanuri language.
Considering the well-known guidelines regarding
the publication of photography of minors, the
Federal government says it has forwarded
pictures of the suspected bomber to the
Murtala Mohammed Foundation for verification
by interested Chibok community stakeholders.
The Ministry of Women Affairs, the Nigerian
High Commission in Cameroon and other
agencies of government are working with other
stakeholders to verify the claim.
