A young female suicide bomber killed
12 worshippers when she blew herself up in a mosque in northeastern Nigeria, a
witness and a vigilante aiding the military against Boko Haram said Friday.
“The bomber was a girl aged around
15 who was seen around the mosque when worshippers were preparing for the
afternoon prayers,” vigilante Danlami Ajaokuta said of Thursday’s attack in
Malari village, adding 12 had died and seven were injured.
“People asked her to leave because
she had no business there and they were not comfortable with her in view of
the spate of suicide attacks by female Boko Haram members.
“She made to leave but while the
people were inside the mosque for the prayers she ran from a distance into the
mosque and blew herself up,” he added — an account corroborated by resident
Gajimi Mala.
