How My Father Made Me A Suicide Bomber — 13-yr Old Suspect by ameheo(m): 1:04pm On Dec 26, 2014
The ancient city of Kano was thrown into
shock yesterday following the confession of a
13 years old suicide bomber arrested by the
police at the wake of twin bombblast that
rocked the city textile market over how she
was conscripted as suicide bomber by his
biological father.
The suicide bomber who identified herself as
Zaharau Babangida told a bewildered city
dwellers that ‘it began one day when my
father took my mum and I to a forest in
Bauchi where we met people claiming to be
working for God”.
In her confession, the frail looking Zaharau
said “in the Bauchi forest I met some other
girls who I guessed were my age mate and
their leader told us to give our lives to God
and enjoy the bounties of heaven’.
I was not moved by the soul searching
preaching of bounties in the heaven and it
was at this point, their leader resorted to
threat and intimidation to obtain my
consent. We were shown a deep hole where
the leader of the group threatened to bury us
alive at a point if any of us refused to play
along, and at another time he picked a big
gun and threatened to shoot anyone who fails
to obey his command.”
Zaharau who told reporters that she hailed
from Damaturu, the capital city of Yobe state
explained that “it was at this point my father
stepped forward to persuade me to play
along, and told me to prepare to die as
martyr and clear the way for him to join me
soon”.
The 13 years old girl who spoke fluent Hausa
dialect further said “when I was confronted
with option of death, I chose to play along
hoping to find an escape route one day”.
Speaking on the Kano bomb blast, Zaharau
Babangida said “I and two other girls were
conveyed to Kano and quartered at the
outskirt of the city by a man I could hardly
remember his name, and this same man
conveyed all of us to the market square and
deployed us at strategic positions at Kwari
market on the day we struck.
“I was taken aback when my partners were
shattered to pieces barely a second after they
detonated. I then rushed out of the scene to
pick a commercial rickshaw to a hospital in
Dawanau area of the city for medical
treatment, and doctors were already
attending to me when the driver of the Keke
NAPEP resurfaced and showed me a metal
object and requested to know whether it was
mine of which I answered in affirmative.
“I told him the object he dangled before me is
a bomb and its mine, and in no time armed
soldiers picked me from my sick bed to their
headquarters.”
Earlier in the day, the Department of State
Security Services and the Nigerian Police had
paraded her as one of the suicide bombers
that attacked Kano textile market December
10.
The Commissioner of police, Adelenre
Shinaba who was flanked by the state
Director of SS, Mr. Basey Ettang explained
that the arrest was as a result of synergy
among the security agents in the state.
Meanwhile, a suicide bomber who rammed
into a military check point in Bajoga, Gombe
State in an attempt to perpetrate mass
killings of troops and innocent civilians,
yesterday failed to accomplish his mission,
the Defence Headquarters’ has said.
According to a statement signed by the
Director of Defence Information, Major
General Chris Olukolade, the attempt by the
terrorist to escape also failed as he was
brought down by vigilant soldiers when he
tried to flee after hitting a military Amoured
Personnel Carrier with his IED laden Honda
car.
The explosives which failed to detonate have
been evacuated and handed to the police.
Also in Kano, security forces have raided the
terrorists’ hideout in Nasarawa Local
Government Area leading to the arrest of
bomb making experts who are already
helping in the investigation into activities of
bombers lately.
Officers believe that the efforts will yield
useful clues.
Meanwhile, the Military High Command has
directed troops deployed in all locations of
the counter terrorism campaign to sustain
the tempo of operations all through the
period of seasonal celebrations and ensure
that the intention of terrorists to attack
civilian target while avoiding troops is duly
frustrated.
