Envoys to verify if 'bomber' is kidnapped Chibok girl

Nigeria is sending a team to Cameroon on Monday to verify a would-be suicide bomber's claim that she is one of the 276 school girls kidnapped by the Boko Haram from the northern town of Chibok.

With less than a month before the two-year anniversary of the brazen kidnapping which shook the world, 219 Chibok students are still missing and there are few signs that the Nigerian government is making progress on securing their release.

The Nigerian government said it would be sending a team to the Cameroonian capital Yaounde to meet the girl, who was arrested along with another would-be bomber.
