Distressed, depressed and distraught mother of Dapchi school girl, Rebecca Sharibu has cried out in a loud voice to President Muhammadu Buhari to ensure the release of her daughter, Leah Sharibu, who was kidnapped exactly one year ago.
Speaking with a voice laden with sorrow, the troubled mother of the school girl who is still in Boko Haram captivity said she feels disappointed because President Muhammadu Buhari has failed her. She recalls: “They sent three ministers to my house promising that my daughter would be released; now it is a year and my daughter is not home yet.
Since she left, my family and I have been devastated; my heart is full of sorrow.”
She went further to lament that all that matters to her now is the safe return of her daughter back home.
Leah was abducted alongside with about 109 girls from a girls’ secondary school at Dapchi, Yobe State by the Boko Haram, last year. After the release of 105 of the girls, Leah was held back because she refused to succumb to Boko Haram’s forceful conversion to Islam.’’
The President has several times promised to secure the release of Leah Sharibu and several others who have been held captive by the insurgents in North-Eastern Nigeria but in vain.
Meanwhile, churches and religious organizations have continued to pray and mount pressure on the federal government to do everything within its powers to release the innocent girl from her captors.
