Leah Sharibu and Muhammadu Buhari
Father of Leah Sharibu, the Christian girl held captive by Boko
Haram terrorists, Nathan Sharibu on Monday accused President Muhammadu
Buhari led Federal government and Ahmed Salkida, an investigative
journalist of knowing the whereabouts of his daughter.
According to Punch,
Mr. Sharibu said he would absolve the pain that his daughter has become
a mother to a baby belonging to one unknown commander of the dreaded
group but insisted that FG and Ahmed Salkida know where Boko Haram kept
his daughter.
His words, as cited by Punch, “There is no qualm. I have been
receiving lots of calls from last night but all I can say is that it is
well. If that is the will of God it is well. Whatever they have done I
receive it with all pleasure.
“The government knows of Leah’s whereabouts. I repeat the
government knows Leah’s whereabouts, more or less Ahmed Salkida. The
government knows about her whereabouts. But whatever it is, I don’t have
anything more to say, than to receive it (the condition of Leah) with
all pleasure”.
Recall that Leah was on February 19, 2018 at 5:30 pm, kidnapped
along with 110 schoolgirls aged 11–19 from the Government Girls’ Science
and Technical College (GGSTC).
Dapchi is located in Bulabulin, Yunusari Local Government area of Yobe State, in the northeast part of Nigeria.
Since then most if not all of the abducted girls have been released except Leah, who vowed not to renounce her Christian faith.
