The
AFP news agency is reporting on how Nigeria’s militant Islamist group
Boko Haram tried to turn Khadija Ibrahim, 30, into a bomber.
It
quotes her as saying she was abducted by two men from a bus station in
the northeastern city of Maiduguri on Friday, as she was on her way
to hospital:
They
offered me a lift, which I readily accepted because I wanted to be at
the hospital on time. They drugged me by placing something on my nose
and I lost consciousness.
I
just woke up to realise I had been stripped and strapped with a suicide
vest and heard one of my captors whispering to me that I was going to
do God’s work.
AFP
quotes Ms Ibrahim as adding that she came around from the effects of
the drugs and feigned unconsciousness until she got a chance to escape
when their vehicle broke down:
While
the driver went to look for water the other man went out to the opened
bonnet to examine the engine, which gave me an opportunity to run out of
the vehicle.
