Nigeria: Girl as young as 7 blows herself up in busy market, murdering 5 people and wounding dozens

Feb 22, 2015 6:30 pm By Robert Spencer

Abducted girls Boko Haram700400This girl could have been one of those abducted last year, and for whatever reason found unsuitable for any other use than this. The mainstream media attention is gone, but the savagery continues.

“Girl as young as seven kills herself and five others in Nigerian bombing,” by Aislinn Laing, the Telegraph, February 22, 2015 (thanks to Anne Crockett):

A girl thought to be as young as seven has blown herself up in a busy Nigerian market, killing five people along with herself and wounding dozens more.

The girl was reported to have been turned away from a security checkpoint at the entrance to a mobile phone market in Potiskum, the commercial capital of northeastern Yobe State, on Sunday, but she returned and ducked under a rope before the explosives strapped to her body detonated.

The attack came as the Nigerian military hailed a significant victory in retaking of the town of Baga, captured by Boko Haram just after New Year with the loss of up to 2,000 lives.

Meanwhile the country’s president Goodluck Jonathan admitted that his government had “underrated” the terrorist group’s capabilities but said it was confident of bringing the group to heel ahead of delayed presidential and parliamentary elections on March 28.

“We are not saying we must finish Boko Haram to conduct elections, but we should get to a point where they will not cause havoc if they make an attempt,” he said.

“My belief is that by 28th of next month, when the elections will be conducted, Boko Haram may not even be in a position to attack any town, God willing.”…

That’s empty boasting we have heard before.

    Nobody cares about these girls ! Where are all these child protection groups ? Have they surrendered to Islam , too ? Or do these girls have no value ?

      “#bringbackourgirls” worked as well as any of the other failed Obama regime efforts.

      Girls and women have no value to the Islamic jihad apart from being breeders, propaganda patsies, targets for male abuse and suicide bombers.

      I doubt that the little girl even knew she was a bomb They probably told her the bomb package was wsome food and they were letting her go and to just walk into the market. That’s what kind of group these killers are. but is this anything new to Africa……What went on with the Africans back in the 17th century and before and forward…They have killing each other for centuries. They used drums for news media in those days but today it is right in our living rooms on the big TV screen and the internet and we can know what’s happening instantly.. Colonialism tried to sanitize them and slave traders tried to sanitize them by removing them and they are still killing each other. This is a bad group boko haran al shabab. whatever they are called they are still mass murderers and need to be eradicated.

    This is child abuse, like the self-appointed prophet was a child molester, a rapist, no surprise here. But the NGO’s got to weigh in. UNICEF, Terre des Hommes are wanted. This is the worst thing you can do to a child, abuse them for suicide bombing. That’s Islam

    This girl could have been one of those abducted last year, and for whatever reason found unsuitable for any other use than this

    No one wanted to take care of her in the two years until a marriage could be consummated.

      Utter bullshit.

      IF the girl was supposed to be 7yrs old, she would probably have been 6 yrs old at the time of kidnapping, so there is no way she was one of the 230 schoolgirls that where abducted from Chibock.

      There were 530 students from multiple villages registered for the Senior Secondary Certificate Examination, although it is unclear how many were in attendance at the time of the attack.[16] The children were aged 16 to 18 and were in their final year of school.[17] Initial reports said 85 students had been kidnapped in the attack. Over the 19–20 April weekend, the military released a statement that said more than 100 of 129 kidnapped girls had been freed. However, the statement was retracted, and on 21 April, parents said 234 girls were missing.[7] A number of the students escaped the kidnappers in two groups.[18] According to the police, approximately 276 children were taken in the attack, of whom 53 had escaped as of 2 May.[16] Other reports said that 329 girls were kidnapped, 53 had escaped and 276 were still missing

        I am quite sure that this poor child was not any of those monsters’ daughter so she was obviously one of the girl abducted. Maybe not thsoe exact ones but one of many abducted by those monsters.
        It is you who writes rubbish.

          If you are going to criticize Islam and moslems, get the facts right.

          I does not seem that any 6-7 year old girls have been kidnapped last year . The closest is a report of an 8 yr old kidnapped last yr, which would make her 9 nine.

          As long as Spencer or Agrononse fail to give a citation of any 6-7 year old being kidnapped then it them that is reporting bullshit

          How about you point out to where either I or Mr. Spencer said that the girl was, or not, kidnapped?

          And what part is “bullshit”? Are you saying that a 7-year-old girl wasn’t used in a bombing attack? You’re a disgusting piece of human waste willing to do and say anything to whitewash islam.

          Drop dead, you stinky muslim liar. You owe me an apology, so get on with it.

        “…there is no way she was one of the 230 schoolgirls that where abducted from Chibock.”

        Does it really matter where she came from? why don’t you think of her as simply a seven-year-old child? a child as in…Aisha, Muhammad’s child bride!!!
        Seriously, aren’t you ashamed of following such a sick “religion”? such a sick “prophet”?

        Hey, dumbass, you might want to read the article before ascribing someone else’s words to me. I’m quoting from the article and commenting on it. And what you claim I said was in fact what I quoted, just to let people know exactly what part of the article I was commenting on.

        Get it?

        You owe me an apology for attributing someone else’s words to me.

        Semeru, you are a sickening excuse for a human being.

        The only thing you can find to say about the horrific murder of a 7 year old child, is your usual stupid nit picking over whether or not the poor little soul was one of the abducted girls, or not.

        You revolt me, mohammedan. Piss off creep.

    When will the Christian Spirit in Southern Africa translate into armed assistance for the communities facing off against the Boko Haram Jihad. Time to look beyond secure Tribal Identities as Indians have learned to move away from Caste Identity. This is an opportunity to build new bonds, through sacrifice, in the spirit of love for ones neighbour.

    This is despicable. It’s every much as bad as the Jihadi outrages in Europe, but because poor black people are the victims (and let’s be clear the girls is a victim too) the mainstream media and politicians largely ignore it.
    Where are all those #BringOurGirlsBack people now? Where is Michelle Obama?

    You have to feel sorry for a country whose president is named “Good Luck”, they will need more than “luck” to rid the country of these savages.

    It is time to top using the label ‘suicide bomber’ in cases where the ‘bomber’ is very young they are most likely coerced or drugged to do these terrible actions and most likely the bomb is remotely triggered. They are very unlikely to be committing suicide as the term is uaually used. We should term them human bombs

    If the girl triggered the detonation willfully, then BH must have brainwashed her.

    Otherwise, BH murdered her.

    Either way, BH got its way.

    @ Semeru

    Thank you for demonstrating the Muslim mindset.

    Instead of being horrified at the abuse and murder of this poor child those killed along with her, you’re whining about whether the child was kidnapped or not?

    Know that I LOATHE your death cult that does this to innocent, helpless children like this one.

    Know that I will NEVER submit to your death cult.
