17 year Boko haram girl refuses to detonate explosives

A teenager, Amina Yusuf, paraded by the military on
Wednesday in Maiduguri said she failed to detonate her
explosive because she did not subscribe to Boko Haram
ideology.

The 17-year-old told newsmen in Maiduguri that she was
abducted five years ago, alongside her parents, in Madagali
 in Adamawa, after a terror attack on the village.

“I was abducted alongside my parents in Madagali in
Adamawa after the terrorists attacked our village. We
 were taken to a camp in the bush where we were 
forcefully indoctrinated by the group,” she said.

The suspected suicide bomber alleged that her parents  
were killed after they had refused to be indoctrinated. “My parents were executed because they did not join the group.

 “I was married off to a Boko Haram militant with whom I 
lived in the camp,” she said.

“One day I was asked to wear the bombs. I was brought
 to Maiduguri with an instruction that I detonate the bomb where there is large crowd of people”,the teenager added.

She said that she declined to detonate the explosive
 because she did not want to die. “They said I should press
 the button but I refused and allowed security men to 
capture me alive.

“My four siblings are still with the terrorists in the camp,”
 Yusuf said.
