Bukar Ibrahim, senator
representing Yobe east, says “very serious negotiations” are ongoing to ensure
the release of Leah Shabiru.
Shabiru is one of the girls
abducted from Dapchi, Yobe state by Boko Haram insurgents on February 19.
Apart from five students who died
in captivity, Boko Haram returned all the remaining abductees to Dapchi apart
from Sharibu.
She was reportedly not released
with others because she refused to convert to Islam.
But speaking on the floor of the
senate on Thursday, Ibrahim said Shabiru would be released “not far from now”.
“I want to reassure the
distinguished Senator that very serious negotiations is going on and I believe
not far from now, she would also be released Insha Allah, the last Dapchi and
the remaining Chibok girls,” the Yobe senator said.
Moving a motion earlier, Emmanuel
Bwacha, senator representing Taraba south, urged the negotiating team to ensure
the release of Shabiru and the remaining Chibok girls.
“I rise to raise personal appeal
to the negotiating team of the executive that ensured the release of the Dapchi
girls. I am doing this to appreciate them for their efforts to get a few of the
Chibok girls and 98 percent of the Dapchi girls released,” he said.
“I want to appeal that they
should double their efforts so that Nigerians would have hope in the effort
they are doing to put confidence in the heart of Nigerians.”
