The Nigerian troops have nabbed a very young and innocent-looking female suicide bomber who is suspected to be a member of the Boko Haram sect.

Boko Haram operatives seem to have intensified their attacks since the Federal Government announced its victory over the sect on the eve of Christmas day. There have been coordinated cases of suicide bombings and other attacks which have claimed lots of lives. The Nigerian soldiers have risen up to expectations in Maiduguri and Adamawa states where they have contained attacks from the terrorist sect.
The General Officer Commanding (GOC) 7 Division, Major General Lamidi Adeosun praised the gallantry of the troops for being vigilant at all time. He commended the troops courage by eliminating the suicide bombers and arresting some of them, which he believes have averted what would have been a major disaster if they had gained entry into the town.
Speaking to newsmen during an interview, a suspected suicide female bomber named Fatima was paraded. She said she lives with her parents in Bullunkutu Abuja, in Maiduguri before abducted with 6 other females in Monguno town. She admitted that being a divorced mother of a baby girl, she was never involved in terror activities since her abduction last year.
She further said, Boko Haram terrorists took her along with 5 others females in a vehicle through unknown routes before arriving the outskirt of Maiduguri where she managed to escape and passed the night in a nearby village.
