Lai Mohammed Explains How Boko Haram Carry Out Their Explosions Using Young Girls (Read)

The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed who visited the headquarters of The Punch yesterday in Magboro, Ogun State, gave details of how Boko Haram men usually use young girls to carry out their violence activities without them really knowing. Hear him;

“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.”

He however maintained that the Federal Government had largely won the war against insurgency.
