The Federal Government has revealed the modus operandi of Islamic terrorist sect, Boko Haram vis a vis the operation of female suicide bombers.
The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, said on Tuesday, that most of the female suicide bombers being used by Boko Haram aren’t aware that they are carrying bombs on them.
During a courtesy visit to the corporate headquarters of Punch Nigeria Limited in Magboro, Ogun State, Mohammed explained that the female bombers were usually monitored from a vantage point, after being given the bombs as a parcel to deliver in a crowded place.
“Suicide bombers usually walk in threes. There is the man who leads. The leader will ensure that the small girl who is strapped with the bomb knows the road. The small girl never knows what she is carrying.
“She is simply told to go and deliver a parcel at a market. That leader would have taken her to the market days before to show her the direction of the market. On the day she is to deliver the package, the man will lead and by then she is strapped.
“Then there is another person that tails her from behind who will make sure that she doesn’t change her mind or turns in another direction. These bombs are detonated remotely. This is how cowardly these people are. These girls are not indoctrinated. Most of them don’t know what they are carrying. Some of them do it for as little as N5, 000 which is given to their parents.”
