Kano- A female suicide bomber, who terrorized the northeast region of Nigeria earlier this month, had a baby strapped to her back said the country’s relief agency. Saad Bello, a NEMA coordinator for Adamawa state said “From the report we got after the Madagali attack (on January 13), one of the female suicide bombers had a baby strapped to her back.
However, it is not clear whether it was just a coincidence or a strategy which was employed to avoid detection by security personnel. This was one of a rare kind of case and it will be too early to arrive definite conclusion that the use of babies in suicide attacks has become a trend”.
