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.
