One of the women freed by soldiers from Boko Haram’s captivity, Meriam, 36, has narrated how the sect fighters trained and prepared girls and women for suicide missions.
Meriam, who had just arrived at one of the internally displaced persons’ camp in Maiduguri, the Borno State capital from Gwoza, revealed this to the New York Times.
She narrated how she was imprisoned with dozens of other women including some who were being trained as suicide bombers.
According to her, the suicide bomber after being brainwashed, will be assured of Allah’s forgiveness after death.
“The Boko Haram would recite the prayer for the dead,” Meriam said. “Then they would put on the hijab,” covering the suicide belt.
After they had prepared, “They said, ‘God will forgive us,’” she said. “Then, they would enter the vehicles, and they would send the women away.”
Meriam said she had seen a few of the Chibok village girls at the hospital in Gwoza, and said that the Boko Haram appeared to give them a special status.
