Two other female suicide bombers, however, completed their mission and blew themselves up in the midst of hundreds of refugees in Dikwa refugee camp in northeast Nigeria, killing 58 people. A <a href="http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/nigeria-suicide-bombing-dozens-killed-1.3442835">CBC News</a> article dated February 12, 2016 said the girl who refused to heed Boko Haram’s instructions to kill refugees was found and later questioned by local security forces. She told authorities she was afraid of going against her handlers’ instructions, but was also scared of the thought of killing innocent people, including her father, who she knew was among the refugees in the camp. “She confessed to our security operatives that she was worried if she went ahead and carried out the attack that she might kill her own father, who she knew was in the camp,” said Algoni Lawan, a spokesman for the Ngala local government area that hosts the refugee camp. The girl said she tried to convince her two companions to abort their mission but could not change their minds. Her story was verified when she led soldiers to the unexploded suicide vest. She is now in custody and has given authorities information on Boko Haram’s planned bombings, prompting officials to beef up the security in the camp that houses 50,000 people who fled their homes to escape from the extremist group’s atrocities. <a href="http://kickerdaily.com/girl-boko-haram-rips-off-suicide-vest-and-refuses-to-bomb-target/" rel="nofollow">Kicker Daily News</a>
