Cameroon: Doubts That Bomber is Kidnapped Student Cameroon: Doubts That Bomber is Kidnapped Student
(about 1 hour later)
The authorities in Cameroon expressed doubt about a would-be suicide bomber’s claim that she is one of the 276 Nigerian schoolgirls kidnapped by Boko Haram Islamists in 2014. Officials cited inconsistencies over her apparent age as the reason for doubting she was one of the girls kidnapped from Chibok, a town in northern Nigeria. The girl in question is one of two would-be suicide bombers arrested in northern Cameroon on Friday wearing 26-pound explosives belts. Nigeria is planning to send a delegation, including Chibok parents, to Yaoundé, the Cameroon capital, to meet her.
