The 13years old girl identified as Zahra'u Babban Gida who was arrested on Christmas eve for being found
with explosives strapped on her body opposite the Kantin-Kwari textile market, the
exact place where two female suicide bombers detonated bombs two weeks ago,
killing many has finally opened up to the security and pressmen.
She revealed that her father gave her to Boko Haram extremists
and that she was arrested after refusing to explode a suicide bomb in Kano.
The girl told a
news conference Wednesday night that she saw many people being buried alive at
the Boko Haram camp where her father took her in Bauchi state, east of Kano.
She said her captors asked if she wanted to go to
paradise and, when she said yes, explained she would have to be a suicide
bomber.
In her words, she said: "When I was told I
would have to die to enter paradise, that I would have to explode a bomb and
die, I said I cannot do it," she said.
When they threatened to kill her, she allowed them
to strap her into a vest primed with explosives, saying "I was afraid to
be buried alive."
Shinaba said she will remain in custody
while investigations continue. He said they had been unable to find her father,
who the girl said belongs to Boko Haram.
