The Joint Task Force (JTF) in Kano has arrested a man suspected to be the master trainer of Boko Haram female suicide bombers with 16 females who were reportedly being trained for suicide operations, Daily Trust, gathered from security sources.

It was gathered that the man identified as Ibrahim Ibrahim was arrested in Dala LGA of Kano during a raid by the Joint Task Force Thursday.
Daily Trust gathered that the females were being trained to carry out suicide bombings when the JTF raided their training ground and arrested them and their trainer.

The just concluded Sallah celebration was marred in the state as female suicide bombers struck at five different locations. About 30 persons lost their lives to the female suicide bombers who were believed to be less than 20 years old.

A security source told our correspondent that the plan of the insurgents was to continue using the female suicide bombers to unleash terror on people of the state. The source added that when interrogated, the suspect disclosed that he brought the bombers from Sambisa forest in Borno State.

“He is still being held and interrogated by the JTF  and he is cooperating with the force by divulging vital information about their new strategy of using teenage girls for suicide bombings. I don’t know the exact number of the girls because one of my colleagues who participated in the operation said 13 while the other one said 16,” he said.

A top security source confirmed the arrest but added, “You know we have carried out many recent successful operations recent. I will not like to say much on this latest operation.”

Spokesperson of the JTF in Kano, Captain Ikechukwu Eze, confirmed an operation in Dala local government area.

“There was an operation in Dala where one Ibrahim Ibrahim was arrested alongside some persons. Investigation is still on,” he said in a phone interview.

Jakumo:

The zombie theory might be closer to reality than we think. The girls being prepped for suicide missions may, after their initial abduction, have been forcibly injected with heroin until they became addicts, at which point they would do ANYTHING to ANYBODY, just for the PROMISE alone, of escape from withdrawal symptoms via another injected dosage of that heavy-duty, mind-warping opiate drug.

[/b]Carrying a "package" strapped around the waist, and walking as directed into a crowded bus-terminal or market,[b] would seem like a quick and easy chore in the eyes of a heroin addicted person trained to work in exchange for injections of the soul-destroying drug to which they are so hopelessly addicted.

You are the true son of your father.

Your points are very plausible. As for me, I dont want to believe that its the chibok girls that are being used as the age ranges of the previous attacks dont tally. If those children were writing their WAEC exams, at least they will be around 14-17 years as opposed to the around 10 year old gilrs that have been used recently to carry out these dastardly acts.
