Insurgency: Two Girls Shot Dead After Refusing To Remove Explosive Vests
Two teenage girls wearing explosive vests have been reportedly shot dead by soldiers in a town in north-eastern Nigeria just days after a blast killed 14 worshippers.
The girls were shot dead on Tuesday by soldiers patrolling the town of Gamboru after they refused to remove their vests.
A third girl was arrested, Kenya's Daily Nation reported on Wednesday.
"Three teenage suicide bombers were found by soldiers and two of them were killed while the third was arrested with her explosive belt," said Umar Kachalla, a civilian militiaman in the town close to the Cameroon border.
"Two of the girls who were walking together were asked to remove their vests but they refused and were shot dead by troops," he added.
The third girl was spotted after she abandoned her explosive vest in a nearby empty building.
