Boko Haram: Leah Sharibu

Leah Sharibu’s Mother, Rebecca Sharibu has stated that she doesnt mind having any of the Boko Haram members as son-in-law, if that would ensure the release of her child.

Recall that Leah is the only Dapchi school-girl remaining in Boko Haram captivity after she was abducted two years ago, alongside 109 other girls from her school in Dapchi, in Yobe State, on February 2018.

Leah has remained in Captivity following her refusal to renounce her faith even after her fellow 109 abductees were released to their families a month later.

She was the only Christian among the 110 schoolgirls abducted by the Islamic State West African Province (ISWAP) from their school in Dapchi, Yobe State, on February 19, 2018.

Leah Sharibu turned 17 last Thursday, May 14, and marked her third birthday in captivity.

Rebecca further expressed how disappointed she was in President Muhammadu Buhari government’s unending negotiation for her daughter’s freedom, which she described as “a scam to satisfy themselves.”

Rebecca said that, “All that matters now is the safe arrival of my precious Leah.”

She said she is now ready to take even an outlaw for in-law, rather than lose her daughter, adding, “You may call him an outlaw, but to me, her husband will be my son. I will take and treat him as an in-law,”
