Suspected bomber with claims to Chibok schoolgirls receives treatment in Cameroon

Cameroonian health and security officials on Monday started the treatment of an arrested suicide bomber who claimed to be one of the 219 missing Chibok schoolgirls.
The girl was found to be heavily drugged and bore several injuries on her body.
The girl’s 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.
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 Presidency via a statement by Garba Shehu said on Monday, “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 the issues.”
