UPDATE: 27/08/2018 Leah has spoken from captivity. Listen to the audio HERE. She said:
"I am Leah Sharibu, the girl that was abducted in GGSS Dapchi. I am calling on the government and people of goodwill to intervene to get me out of my current situation”.
“I also plead to the members of the public to help my mother, my father, my younger brother and relatives. Kindly help me out of my predicament. I am begging you to treat me with compassion, I am calling on the government, particularly, the president to pity me and get me out of this serious situation. Thank you."
UPDATE: We delivered over 60,000 signatures to Leah Sharibu's Mother in Dapchi village, North Eastern Nigeria. Leah's mother was appreciative to see many people globally stand with her. She said it is months since she last saw her daughter and hopes she is safe. She has urged the Nigeria government to help her plea to save her daughter from Boko Haram and also is assured that her daughter will go to heaven in case Boko Haram insurgents kill her daughter.
Thousands of Christians have been killed or abducted by Boko Haram, the militant Islamist group who claim to have established a ‘caliphate’ (Islamic state) in northern Nigeria. On a devastating scale also, Christians are also the target of Hausa-Fulani Muslim herdsmen, who have destroyed hundreds of churches and killed thousands of Christians. Twelve of the northern states have adopted Islamic law, and Christians are frequently discriminated against in this region, with Christian villages often lacking clean water and health clinics, and Christians being denied access to secondary school and higher education.
In March 2018, Boko Haram abducted 105 girls in Dapchi whom they asked to convert to Islam.
Out of the abducted girls, Leah Sharibu refused to renounce her faith despite pressure by the rest of her abducted school friends. Boko Haram refused to free her despite releasing the rest.
Leah asked her friends to tell her parents to pray for her but her mother could not find out anything else about her daughter, as the army then ordered all of the released girls to report to the hospital.
"Boko Haram did not release my daughter because the young woman refused to abandon her faith to embrace the Muslim religion," said the mother of Sharibu.
The president of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari, pointed out on Twitter the following:
"It is disheartening that one of the girls, Leah Sharibu, remains in captivity (...) We will do everything in our power to recover Leah safely (...) It will not be abandoned." Up to date, there is no news about the young heroine or updates on efforts being made to rescue her. This is very heartwrenching especially for her mother.
Besides Leah Sharibu, thousands are being massacred and kidnapped by Boko Haram and the Fulani Herdsmen due to their faith. No Christian should suffer persecution, discrimination or death for the simple act of professing the Christian faith.
It is time to stop this kind of Christian massacre! It is enough to kill thousands just because they profess Christ! Please stop it.

The Boko Haram terrorist group released 100 girls in March but did not release young Sharibu because of her faith. She refused to denounce her faith when asked to do so by the terrorist group resulting in her detention. This is saddening that she is still at the hands of the terrorist group months later.
Thousands of Christians have died for the cause of their faith due to the same group.
No Christian should suffer persecution, discrimination or death for the simple act of professing the Christian faith.
I also ask you, president Buhari, to take a decisive action and end this kind of persecution against innocent Nigerian Christians and help release Sharibu.
