Jihadi brides begging to become SUICIDE BOMBERS to escape misery of life under Boko Haram

TERRIFIED jihadi brides are begging to become suicide bombers in a desperate bid to escape their misery, it has emerged.

Figures released last night showed one in five bombers of warped group Boko Haram – which is aligned to Islamic State – are children.

Many signed up because they can no longer face a life of being raped by terrorist brutes, according to a teenager who managed to escape.

She said: "They would ask: 'Who wants to be a suicide bomber?’ The girls would shout: 'Me, me, me.' They were fighting to do the suicide bombings."

The 16-year-old, named only as Fati, said the tragic girls – many of whom have been kidnapped and forced into marriage – have no other option.

She said: "If they give them a suicide bomb, then maybe they would meet soldiers, tell them: 'I have a bomb on me' and they could remove the bomb. They can run away.

"People are afraid because everywhere, if you hear 'suicide bomb', it is a young girl."

The Unicef figures show three-quarter of the children used as suicide bombers by Boko Haram since 2012 have been girls.

They included students kidnapped by the jihadi group in Chibok, north-east Nigeria, in April 2014, according to reports.

Their abduction sparked the campaign Bring Back Our Girls – backed by the likes of First Lady Michelle Obama and supermodel Cara Delevingne.

A Unicef spokesman said: "As 'suicide' attacks involving children become commonplace, some communities are starting to see children as threats to their safety.

"This suspicion towards children can have destructive consequences.

"How can a community rebuild itself when it is casting out its own sisters, daughters and mothers?"
