Nigerians have expressed worry at the recent spate of suicide bombings carried out by young females, especially as the over 200 schoolgirls, who were kidnapped from Chibok in Borno, are still being held captive.
Oby Ezekwesili Fears For Chibok Girls' Safety
The recent bombings in Kano carried out by young girls have become a cause for concern among the populace
Two explosions occurred on Monday in different parts of Kano state and both were said to have been carried out by teenage girls. This has led to former Minister of Education, Obiageli Ezekwesili expressing the fear that the girls might have been forcefully turned into suicide bombers.
She said via Twitter:
"Female suicide bombers are again and again becoming the trend and our Chibok girls are still in the enemy’s den. It worries me stiff. Are we thinking? Our Chibok girls really need to be rescued from the clutches of evil."

“It feels like eternity since when our girls lost their freedom. How can we move on like that? This new trend and serial pattern of female suicide bombers surely should particularly worry us."
Mrs. Ezekwesili has been relentless in her agitation for the rescue of the girls and is one of the front runners of the #BringBackOurGirls campaign.
