The girl, Zahra'u Babban Gida, claims she was
abducted from Bauchi State. The girl, whose age
has not been disclosed, alleges that she was
unconscious until today, when she was released
by her kidnappers and strapped to an explosive
vest.
Babban Gida was arrested opposite Kantin-Kwari
textile market, the scene of a major explosion two
weeks ago, in which two female suicide bombers
detonated explosives, killing many.
