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.
