Hadiza Musa, a 10-year-old girl suspected to be a suicide bomber was among three other insurgents arrested by security operatives in Katsina State.

According to Mike Omeri, Chairman, National Information Centre, who briefed the press in Abuja, the teenager was among three suspected Boko Haram members that were arrrested?on Tuesday?night.

He said the girl had a belt strapped with explosives at the time of her arrest.

?Security forces on Tuesday, 29 July, at about?10pm?along Zaria Road, Tudun Wada of Funtua Metropolis, arrested three suspects believed to be members of the Boko Haram sect.

?The three suspects consisted a male named Iliya Haliru, and two females ? Zainab Musa, 18, and Hadiza Musa, 10. The three suspects were arrested in a Honda CRV.

?When they were directed to disembark for security check, 10-year-old Hadiza was discovered to have been strapped with an explosive belt.

?And immediately, Iliya and Zainab made an attempt to escape with the car but were later blocked by other concerned Nigerians and subsequently arrested.

?The police successfully unstrapped the explosive,? Omeri narrated.

He added, ?it is on this note that we appeal to parents to cautiously observe and watch their children?s activities to prevent them from participating in unwholesome activities particularly acts of terrorism.

?It is clear that some parents are also into this that they are willing to take their children, as young as 10 years, into acts of cowardice and self-destruct.

?We, however, wish to express our appreciation at the level of the consciousness of Nigerians on security issues and their contributions to supporting security agencies.

?The government is closely liaising with domestic and international intelligence agencies within the newly established regional intelligence fusion unit to track and capture all terrorists and their sponsors in the country?.
