The recent bombings in Kano carried out by young girls have become a cause for concern among the populace


Nigerians have expressed worry at the recent spate of
suicide bombings carried out by young females, especially as the over
200 schoolgirls, who were kidnapped from Chibok in Borno, are still
being held captive.
Two explosions occurred on Monday in different parts of Kano state and both were said to have been carried out by teenage girls. This has led to former Minister of Education, Obiageli Ezekwesili expressing the fear that the girls might have been forcefully turned into suicide bombers.

She said via Twitter:
"Female
suicide bombers are again and again becoming the trend and our Chibok
girls are still in the enemy’s den. It worries me stiff. Are we
thinking? Our Chibok girls really need to be rescued from the clutches
of evil."
“It feels like eternity since April 14
when our girls lost their freedom. How can we move on like that? This
new trend and serial pattern of female suicide bombers surely should
particularly worry us."
Mrs. Ezekwesili has been relentless in her agitation for the rescue of the girls and is one of the front runners of the #BringBackOurGirls campaign.
