A teenage Nigerian girl is dead after being beaten to death and set on fire by a mob in northeastern Nigeria on Sunday. She was one of two girls who refused to be searched after arriving to a vegetable market. When the crowd overpowered her and saw two bottles strapped to her, they clubbed her to death before putting a tire covered in fuel over her head which they then lit. However police said it is unlikely she was a suicide bomber since she never detonated any explosives when she was attacked and instead was a victim of "mob action carried out by an irate crowd.” Lately, girls as young as 10 have been deployed to carry out suicide attacks at markets and bus stations in Nigeria.
