All the other kidnapped schoolgirls from Dapchi have been freed -- except Leah who her friends say refused to renounce her Christian faith to Boko Haram
Rebecca, Leah's mother, recalled how the overjoyed parents celebrated the sudden and unexpected return of their daughters after one month away.
Rebecca, 45 said she waited patiently as each parent was reunited with their daughter.
It suddenly dawned on her that Leah was not among the group of girls released. "Where is Leah?" she asked anxiously. One of the freed girls told her that Leah had been left behind.
"She refused to convert to Islam," another told her.
That was the moment Rebecca's world came crashing down around her. She collapsed and was rushed to the hospital.
Even now, her health problems persist, It is obvious from looking at Rebecca that she is still not fully healthy, physically nor mentally.
Her eyes were in a daze, surrounded by drooping skin and deeply-etched lines. Her breaths came in haggard waves. She twisted the corners of her mouth downwards in a permanent frown.
Slowly, she began to speak. "They said she should turn to Muslim before she enter motor and then she said she would never do that," she told me, looking down at one of Leah's photos.
'We've been living in anguish,' parents of missing Dapchi schoolgirls say,
She describes Leah as hardworking and quiet, a girl who enjoyed going to church. She sang in the choir. The local pastor, Daniel Auta, said Leah had a beautiful voice, soft and melodic.
"When my daughter comes back, I will not allow her to go to that school again," Rebecca said.
The girls high school in Dapchi is not far from Rebecca's home. Outside the campus, soldiers are posted at the main gate and members of a volunteer vigilante force posted at the other.
On the day the abduction happened, there was no security at the gate.
The school recently opened again but none of the abducted Dapchi girls have resumed their education, although 20 of them were given scholarships to a neighboring private school in partnership with UNICEF.
when CNN contacted Nigerian presidential aide Femi Adesina about her comments, he referred CNN to the Yobe State governor office. The state office in turn referred us to speak with the federal government about the family's concerns when they were contacted by CNN.
In April, the Nigerian government said a disagreement between members of Boko Haram had caused a breakdown in negotiation talks for the release of remaining schoolgirls in the group's captivity.

this apc government are not serious, playing ping pong with this matter

In Nigeria, some fools still think that boko haram will not succeed, or that buhari, buratai and indeed all the mafias in the north are not part of the plan. They should wait and watch things unfold, but by that time, it will be too late. Even America cannot help because america did not help Turkey, Lebanon, Syria and some other Islamic countries that were christian dominated within the last 5 decades

if things break down in Nigeria ( i hope not ), believe me, the west is getting ready, the kind of development going on in the west is really massive.

She has roasted I guess.

So even after UNICEF gave them scholarships to other schools, they still refused to go. Boko is indeed Haram.

Then the government is playing ping pong.... Chai. Leah, I wouldn't want to be in your shoes. Northern Christians are welcome in the east. leave that place where you're persecuted because of your faith.

That Adesina is one bastard I seriously loathe.

Leah sharibu is nothing to Muslims according to their beliefs. If not why hasn't MURIC or the other Islamic bodies taken a stance publicly?
