Rebecca Sharibu has sued the federal government for failing to secure the release of Leah, her daughter.

Leah Sharibu was among the 119 students of Government Girls Secondary School, Dapchi, Yobe state, abducted by Boko Haram in February.

All the abducted girls were subsequently released, except five who reportedly died in detention.

Leah was held back by the insurgent group for “refusing to renounce her faith”.


In a suit filed at the federal high court in Lagos, Rebecca sought N500 damages over the government’s “dereliction of duties”.

Joined as defendants in the suit are Ibrahim Idris, inspector-general of police, and Abubakar Malami, attorney-general of the federation.

The suit was jointly filed with Daniel David Kadzai and Lift-Up-Now Incorporation, a US-based organisation.

A copy of the suit dated September 19, 2018, with no FCH/L/cs/1528/18, was made available to journalists on Tuesday.

Among the prayers the plaintiff sought from the court is an order “directing and mandating the defendants to secure the immediate and unconditional release of the plaintiff from the custody of her captors forthwith”.

I agree with her. They freed all moslems but left the only Christian.

Buhari and APC led fed GUNment are CULPABLE.

This is more about the money, I see...

Very good....

Very good.

Insensitive and Demonic government. When the dullards son, who is now suffering from mental issues had the bike accident, he took his Lifeless body to the hospital, wept bitterly, sacked DSS officials and immediately flew his spoilt child abroad on our Presidential jet. But since Leah is a Christian and not his child, the Devil doesn't give a damn, if she's raped, tortured and killed. Jihadist masquerading as President.

It will interest Nigerians to know that buhari's destructive govt NEVER in anyway made contacts with Leah Sharibu's parents since Leah was abducted in school by boko haram! That shows you how evil buhari's govt is.

Well advised.

This is the way to go. FG can't possibly claim she has no right to freedom like the Muslims girls.

If they pay you the money, are they free to kill your daughter??
Just asking
