The Nigerian police have arrested a 13-year-old girl that was wearing an explosives-packed vest in the northern city of Kano, hours after an attack by two female suicide bombers.

Vanguard reports that the girl turned up at a clinic on the outskirts of Kano hours after a double bombing at a market in the city.

“The people there called the attention of security personnel who found explosives primed for a suicide attack on her,” said a security source, who requested anonymity, in an account confirmed by a nurse at the clinic.
