A 10-year-old girl, who was strapped with explosives, was among the 3 suspected members of the Boko Haram arrested by Nigerian security forces in Katsina on Tuesday. The suspects, who were arrested about 10.00 p.m on Zaria Road, Tudun Wada area of Funtua metropolis, were Iliya Dahiru (male), Zainab Musa, 18 and the 10-year-old Hadiza Musa. Their arrest was disclosed by the coordinator of the National Information Centre, Mr Mike Omeri in Abuja yesterday.
According to him, “The suspects were arrested in a Honda CRV. When they were directed to disembark for security checks, 10-year-old Hadiza was discovered to have been strapped with an explosive belt and immediately, Iliya and Zainab made attempt to escape with the car, but were later blocked by other concerned Nigerians and subsequently arrested.” Omeri appealed to parents to monitor closely, activities of their children, to prevent them from being used by insurgents. “It is on this note that we appeal to parents to consciously observe and watch their children’s activities, in order to prevent them from participating in unwholesome activities, particularly terrorism,” he said.
