Dapchi Schoolgirls: For refusing to wear Hijab, only Christian girl was held back by Boko Haram

Miss Liya Sharubu, the only Christian girl among the Dapchi schoolgirls was not released because she refused to denounce her Christian faith when she was asked to do so.
The girl was said to have been held back when she refused to put on the hijab like her other colleagues did during their days in captivity.
One of the freed girls, Khadija Grema, said the girl was warned that she would be held back if she did not accept Islam and profess it publicly.

“It was sad, when we heard that Liya was not released”, said Mr. Kachalla.
