Kano - A 13-year-old girl says her father gave her to Boko Haram
extremists and that she was arrested after refusing to explode a suicide
bomb at a market in Kano, Nigeria's second largest city in the north.
She
says she told her captors she did not want to be a suicide bomber but
allowed them to strap her into a vest primed with explosives because
they threatened to bury her alive.
She says she was taken to Kano's textile market where two other
girls detonated their bombs. Police said four people were killed in the
10 December attack.
Police presented the girl at a news conference on Tuesday night.
Nigeria has suffered numerous bombings carried out by girls and young women.
