Miss Leah Sharibu who has been in the Boko Haram captivity over a year was reported to have been forced to denounce Christianity for Islam and presently has given birth to a baby, sex unknown to one of the sect Commander.
A Senior Lecturer at the Department of Political Science, University of Jos, Dr Gloria Puldu, who speaks for the family of Leah Sharibu, told Sunday PUNCH that all they wanted was to have Leah home alive, with or without a baby.
She said,
“I have seen reports that Leah had a baby boy.
“What we even desire is to see proof of life so that we see Leah by ourselves. If they are able to have Leah safe, we will understand.
“The most important thing is that we want her to be alive. And if she is alive, we will praise God for that. They should release her, despite whatever condition she is in. That is all; it doesn’t matter whether she is pregnant or with a baby.”
Recall that while almost all the captured girls were released by Boko Haram not too long after their kidnap, Sharibu was kept in captivity for refusing to renounce Christianity for Islam.
Despite promises by President Muhammadu Buhari’s regime to secure the teenager’s release, she remains with the terrorists till this day.
