Abducted Chibok Girls Now Suicide Bombers?

A theory that has been making rounds over the past few days have been backed up by a Vanguard source that the over 200 girls seized from Government Secondary School, Chibok, in Borno State, who are yet to be rescued from the pangs of their abductors might have become suicide bombers. This theory came following the increasing incidence of female suicide bombers in the country in recent times. “It may shock you to know that some of the girls being used for suicide bombings in parts of the North are among those taken from Chibok in April this year,” the source said. The source spoke about the possibility that the girls had been indoctrinated by the terrorists in the last three months of their captivity, hypnotised and sent into various parts of Nigeria and beyond with a view to carrying out deadly missions. More so, everyone would agree that the number of days the girls have spent with the dreaded Islamist sect group is enough to have been brainwashed. The source, who has contacts with the Boko Haram leadership, pointed out that it may be difficult to change radical orientation of the girls, who may now see their malevolent disposition as an act of righteousness. The source said further: “it is rather unfortunate that government wasted precious time in rescuing the girls either through negotiation with Boko Haram or other means possible. “It was clear from the outset that the girls would not come out the same, after being kept with their unwanted hosts for a long time.” Although the Federal Government last Wednesday assured that the Chibok girls were not among the female bombers, its spokesman did not provide any evidence to prove his claim. At a media briefing in Abuja, Coordinator of the National Information Centre, Mr. Mike Omeri, tried to ward off the suggestion that the 219 school girls currently in the captivity of Boko Haram insurgents could have turned suicide bombers. A human rights activist, Shehu Sani who had taken part in failed bids to broker a truce between the Federal Government and Boko Haram leadership had shortly after the abduction of the schoolgirls raised the alarm that the girls could be brainwashed if not urgently freed. “But the danger of keeping these girls, without either using negotiation or force to free them is that, everyday these girls are being brainwashed by the insurgents,” he told Vanguard in May. “If we are not careful, the Chibok girls that would come out of captivity would not be the same girls that went into captivity. They would be indoctrinated, they would be hypnotised and brainwashed to the point that they would be transformed into insurgents themselves. And of what use would they be? “These are very young girls in their teens with very open and vulnerable minds but open to dangerous ideas. You can see how a man would abduct a girl whose parents don’t like him and, by the time the girl comes back she is ready to fight her parents. “So, the danger is that as the clocks ticks, it is ticking for us, for the girls and for our reputation and integrity as a country.”

6 days after downing passenger jet, rebels shoot down 2 Ukrainian military planes

Less than a week after shooting down a passenger jet carrying 298 people, pro-Russian rebels today Wednesday July 23rd shot down two Ukrainian military fighter jets close to the Russian border just 35km away from the Malaysian crash site. A spokesman for Ukraine’s military operations said the planes were downed near Savur Mogila, a burial mound in the Shaktersky region, but didn’t have any information about the pilots.
