The Cameroonian army has intercepted and arrest two female suspected suicide bombers who claims to be one of the Chibok girls abducted by the Nigerian militant group, Boko Haram sect in April 2014.
A military sources said that two female bombers carrying explosives were caught by local self-defense forces in the village of Limani, in an area of northern Cameroon. The girls were then handed over to Cameroonian soldiers which are working alongside with a multi-national force set up to end the insurgency.
Local government administrator Raymond Roksdo said: “One of them indeed declared that she is one of the Chibok hostages. She is around 15. We are now verifying, because on the Nigerian side they have the names and photos of these girls.” Two army sources, who asked not to be named as they were not authorized to speak to the press, also confirmed that the captured suicide bomber had claimed to have been one of the Chibok schoolgirls. “We need a few days to be able to confirm this information. We have to debrief all the men who were present and interrogate the two girls before we can say anything,” the source added. Boko Haram insurgents stormed the school in Chibok town almost two years ago while the girls were taking exams. They loaded 270 of them onto trucks, while around 50 escaped shortly afterwards.
