ABUJA - Health authorities in Cameroon and
security officials have started treatment of an
arrested suicide bomber who claimed to be one
of the 219 missing Chibok Girls.
Available information revealed that the girl was
found to be heavily drugged and bore several
injuries on her body.
Also, her health condition had delayed her
movement to the far north regional capital of
Cameroon, Maroua, as earlier planned.
Pictures of the arrested suspected bomber
obtained by Nigerian officials indicated that the
girl was likely a minor, between ages nine to 12
years.
A statement by Mallam Garba Shehu, the senior
special assistant to President Mohammadu
Buhari on Monday stated that the girl's
"accomplice was about 30 years or more, and
both spoke only in Kanuri language.
It added that "Considering the well-known
guidelines regarding the publication of
photography of minors, we have decided to
forward the 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 will continue to work
together with other stakeholders to verify all theissues."
