Nigeria has confirmed that the would-be female suicide bomber that was arrested in neighbouring Cameroon in not one of the missing Chibok girls.
BBC reports a senior Nigerian official to say that the girl who was arrested after her explosives failed to detonate is not one of the girls who were kidnapped by Islamist terror group Boko Haram in 2014.
The girls was reported to have told investigators that she was one of the 276 girls that were carried away by the militants from their school in Chibok two years ago.
The senior official categorically ruled out the possibility, but gave no further details on her identity.
The girls is one of two would-be bombers who were detained in northern Cameroon last week with explosives strapped on their bodies.
Officials in Cameroon say she was drugged and badly injured.
The al-Qaeda affiliated Islamist group is increasingly deploying the use of girls to carry out their attacks in West Africa.
