Leah Sharibu’s Mother Prays For Her Return As She Turns 18
In Captivity
Mrs Rebecca Sharibu, the mother of one of the 110
schoolgirls kidnapped by the Boko Haram terrorists from the Government Girls’
Science and Technical College (GGSTC) in Dapchi, Yobe State has prayed for the
safe return of her daughter.
Leah was just 15 years when she was taken hostage by Boko
Haram insurgents in Yobe State alongside other girls in February 2018.
While others have regained their freedom, she is still in
Boko Haram’s captivity for refusing to renounce her Christian faith.
Friday marks her 18th birthday and her mum, Rebecca is
renewing calls on the Federal Government to release Leah, four years after.
President Muhammadu Buhari had on February 19, 2020,
promised that his administration would secure would ensure the release of all
persons currently in the captivity of Boko Haram and other terror groups across
the country and beyond.
The President stated this in a message he personally signed
as part of activities marking the second anniversary of the abduction of 110
students of Government Girls’ Technical College, Dapchi, Yobe State.
