Rebecca Sharibu, mother of the kidnapped Dapchi schoolgirl
kept away by Boko Haram, Leah Sharibu, has stormed the United Kingdom to meet
Boris Johnson, the British Prime Minister on her daughter’s case.
Rebecca spoke with BBC Hausa Service in London, saying that
President Muhammadu Buhari was not serious about issues concerning the release
of her daughter.
Mrs. Sharibu said she traveled to London to seek the
assistance of the British Government to free her daughter from the terrorists’
captivity.
The grieving mother told the medium that President Buhari
did not contact her family until seven months after the abduction of their
daughter.
She cried out that nothing has been heard from the President
since after he contacted her, and sent down three Ministers, assuring her that
Leah was going to be released soon.
Rebecca said it was against that background that, she
decided to meet the British PM and the royal family to lay her complaints and
seek for help.
She said, “I have come to Britain to lay my complaints. I
need their help. They should help me. I will like my daughter to be freed from
captivity.
“My daughter was abducted among others by Boko Haram
terrorists. It was seven months later that President Muhammadu Buhari called
me. Since their abduction in February, it was seven months later that he called
me.
“When he called me, he told me that my daughter would
return, that she would not stay long.
“Two weeks later, he sent three ministers to our house and
they corroborated what Mr. President had told me. The ministers reiterated that
Leah would be returned to me, shortly.
“The Ministers said they were in my house to reassure me
that my daughter would soon return. But since that day, I never heard anything
again from the government.
“My major worry now is for the government to do whatever
possible and free my daughter from captivity. Because, I am seriously
disturbed, but there is nothing I can do. If the government is doing nothing,
what can I an ordinary citizen do?” She said.
Leah Shatibu was abducted from her school, the Government
Girls’ Science and Technology College, Dapchi, Yobe State on February 19, 2018.
The terrorists, however, vowed to keep Miss Sharibu, the
only Christian girl among the abducted girls as “a slave for life.”
This followed her alleged refusal to deny her Christian
faith and convert to Islam.
