The recent bombings in Kano carried out by young girls have become a cause for concern among the populace
Nigerians have expressed worry at the recent spate of
suicide bombings carried out by young females, especially as the
over 200 schoolgirls, who were kidnapped from Chibok in Borno, are
still being held captive.
Two explosions occurred on Monday in different parts of Kano state and both were said to have been carried out by teenage girls. This has led to former Minister of Education, Obiageli Ezekwesili expressing the fear that the girls might have been forcefully turned into suicide bombers.

She said via Twitter:
"Female suicide bombers are again and again becoming
the trend and our Chibok girls are still in the enemy’s den. It
worries me stiff. Are we thinking? Our Chibok girls really need to
be rescued from the clutches of evil."
“It feels like eternity
since April 14 when our girls lost their freedom. How can we move
on like that? This new trend and serial pattern of female suicide
bombers surely should particularly worry us."
Mrs. Ezekwesili has
been relentless in her agitation for the rescue of the girls and is
one of the front runners of the #BringBackOurGirls campaign.
