Former minister and one of the leaders of the BringBackOurGirls, Dr. Oby Ezekwesili, has raised an alarm on the increasing use of teenage girls as suicide bombers by the Boko Haram insurgent group.
On Monday, two female suicide bombers struck in different parts of Kano, killing and injuring many on a day Muslim faithful thronged the prayer grounds to observe the Eid-el-Fitri. Another female bomber struck on Sunday as well. In a series of tweets sent out hours ago, the former education minister urged Nigerians to pray the more for the missing Chibok girls. “It feels like eternity since April 14 when our girls lost their freedom.
How can we move on like that? This new trend and serial pattern of female suicide bombers surely should particularly worry us. “Female suicide bombers are again and again becoming the trend and our Chibok girls are still in the enemy’s den.
It worries me stiff. Are we thinking? Our Chibok girls really need to be rescued from the clutches of evil. “We must all not stop praying and demanding that the FG acts for results. We have no apology for being agitated. We have nothing to defend for crying out for their rescue,” she wrote on her Twitter page. She further stated that the Federal Government must not “move on,” as the Chibok girls may well be indoctrinated or coerced into being used as suicide bombers.
