(CNN) Nigeria wants to know if two girls arrested before they could detonate suicide bombs are Nigerian schoolgirls kidnapped by the Islamist terror group Boko Haram two years ago, state broadcaster NTA said Saturday.

Friday, three female suicide bombers planning to carry out an attack near the northern Cameroon village of Limani were spotted by local vigilantes before they could blow themselves up, Cameroon's state broadcaster CRTV said.

One girl escaped. One girl who was captured claimed to be part of the group of 276 teenage girls kidnapped by Boko Haram from the Nigerian town of Chibok in April 2014, NTA reported.

Boko Haram sparked international outrage when it abducted the girls from the town in northeastern Nigeria, police said. About 50 girls escaped but authorities fear the rest may have been raped, brutalized or forced to convert to Islam.

The Nigerian government designated two parents from Chibok to travel to Cameroon and visit the girls, NTA said. A timeline has yet to be announced about the Chibok parents' trip.
