Abuja - An arrested suicide bomber, aged 14-years-old, said in her confession to Nigerian Army, after surrendering to them days before, that Boko Haram leaders chose her to detonate an IED in Maiduguri, Borno State, because she had refused to marry a group member in Sambisa. She was among three suspects arrested by the military when they allegedly went on a suicide mission at a military facility in Jakana, in Maiduguri. The suspect told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), in Maiduguri, yesterday, that she was sent on the mission to detonate the device because she refused marriage proposals from three Boko Haram terrorists. According to the suspect, she was abducted with her father, Usman, by Boko Haram insurgents in Gwoza, Borno, in 2013, and added that she and her father were escaping to Mandara mountain for safety when they were abducted.
