Nigerian Military Searches For Women Terrorists

The military is on the trail of more women in the Northeast following the launch of a probe into alleged recruitment of women suicide bombers by the insurgents.

According to a top military source, who spoke on the on-going interrogation of the arrested masterminds of Chibok girls, the suspects have given “useful insights into the workings of the insurgents in Sambisa Forest”.

The source said: “The three suspects have been moved to a military facility in Maiduguri for interrogation by relevant experts and security agents. They were arrested in different locations though they belong to the same network.

“They have provided some useful clues on Sambisa Forest which have assisted in having knowledge on the inner workings of the insurgents.

“One of the revelations showed that the insurgents have changed tactics; they now engage more women in their operations, including intelligence gathering.
