Emotions as activists, others celebrate Leah Sharibu’s 16th birthday

f West Africa to celebrate the 16th birthday of Leah Sharibu, a schoolgirl being held captive by Boko Haram insurgents since February 2015.

The groups took their protest to the Plateau State House of Assembly where they submitted a letter of protest to Speaker Joshua Madaki. “As a Christian, Leah has become a role model, a heroine. We need to celebrate her, whether she is alive or not. But we know she is alive because her God in heaven has neither forsaken her nor forgotten her.

“Only God knows why He allows Leah to remain in captivity, it’s not that it is beyond God to secure her release.”He also told Nigerians to join hands with the government to fight the current insecurity across the country. They urged the Federal Government to ensure the safe and speedy return of Miss Sharibu to her family and the Christian community.

“The number one priority as you move into your second term is to address the security challenges, particularly in the North, the Middle Belt, the Northeast and the Northwest. But, of course, there are pockets of security challenges in other parts of the country.
