Leah Sharibu was kidnapped by Boko Haram on the 21st of Feb 2018 along side other girls. On the 21st of March 2018, ALL the kidnapped girls,except Leah were freed.
It’s been FOUR long months & Leah is still with her captors.
The President is more interested in 2nd term 🙁

Today is Leah Sharibu’s 15th birthday. Her mother Rebecca shows me her photo (red circle). Leah was abducted by Boko Haram in February in Dapchi, Nigeria and is still gone. She and hundreds of others have marked their birthdays while living in hostage.

Leah Sharibu, she turns 15 today. Look around you and look at any 15year old, look at what freedom means to them. At age 15, Leah Sharibu already knows what it means to be denied freedom and what it means for your Govt to fail you. Her only crime is standing by her faith!

This is day what? Still nothing from @MBuhari, @OfficialAPCNg & their Propaganda Department concerning Leah Sharibu. Why the silence? It’s deafening pic.twitter.com/aitTrrHSPS

Buhari is going in and out of the country for "medical check up"! He doesn’t feel concern about Leah Sharibu and her parent.

Leah Sharibu, the country you had wished to one day serve is letting you down, today as you Mark your birthday let everyone that is involved in your current state never find rest and their joy will be stolen from them.

It’s Leah Sharibu’s 15th birthday today, but she won’t be celebrating with her family. For 3 months she’s been held prisoner by Boko Haram. She hasn’t been released as she refuses to convert in exchange for her freedom. #FreeLeah#DapchiGirls@csw_uk@cswng10@ECWAHeadquarterpic.twitter.com/byqz1bw8MA

"Leah Sharibu" As you add one today we pray the good lord bring you home safe and sound. We have a president more concerned with 2019 but our GOD will sure disgrace him.
