The
Chibok Community in Abuja on Tuesday said the suspected female suicide bomber
that was arrested in Cameroon was not from their community, based on
information made available to them by the Federal Government.
The
Chairman of the community, Tsambido Abana, said on Tuesday
that the suspect had never attended a conventional school, noting that the
minor, who does not speak English, was believed to be from Bama area of Borno
State.
Asked
if his group had seen the girl’s picture, Abana stated that it was not released
to him or his community members, adding that the picture was given to Aisha
Oyebode of Murtala Muhammed Foundation for verification.
He
said he would not approach the foundation for the picture, noting that it was
clear that the girl was not from Chibok, fbased on the information released by
the government.
“I
won’t bother to go and see the picture, because from the information given by
the government, it is apparent that the girl is not from Chibok. Going to see
the picture would create an unnecessary tension and expectation among the
Chibok parents whose daughters are missing,” he said.
The
BringBackOurGirls group also said it had not seen the picture of the suspect,
saying it (picture) was not made available to them.
A
co-coordinator of the group, Aisha Yesufu, said the government did not release
any picture to the group.
The
BBOG had earlier advised the government to authenticate the suspect’s claim
that she was one of the abducted 219 Chibok girls.
