“So Sad And Disheartening” – Reactions As Leah Sharibu Gives Birth To Second Baby In Boko Haram Captivity

A United States-based group, US-Nigeria Law Group, has lamented the plight of the abandoned Dapchi “heroine Christian” schoolgirl, Leah Sharibu, with reports she has given birth to a second child in captivity.

Convener of the US-Nigeria Law Group, Emmanuel Ogebe, said in a statement that “despite an offer by an American pastor last month to surrender himself in exchange for Leah’s freedom, there has been no tangible response from her captors.

“That notwithstanding, intelligence received on the status of Leah indicates that she has delivered a second child in captivity. While we have not corroborated this by multiple sources, a usually knowledgeable source indicated that she delivered a second child late last year. This means both children were born in 2020 as the terrorists announced her childbirth earlier in 2020. We are still investigating this,”

Below are some of the reactions gathered from Twitter;

So sad and disheartening tbvh.

Everyone in the Nigerian govt, male & female, should bow their heads in shame. All arms & levels of govt, elected & appointed positions. LG, State & Federal. You have all failed Leah Sharibu & your reward will be met by you or your generation, now or the world to come.

The pain of Leah Sharibu is on all of us. Her abduction and the failure to secure her release is enough reason to kick Buhari and Osinbajo out of Office. Omo’lomo.
