A United States-based group identified as the US-Nigeria Law Group has reported that Leah Sharibu, one of the abducted Dapchi Schoolgirls who is still in Boko Haram captivity has delivered a second baby.
The group reported that Leah had both children in 2020 following the terrorists’ first announcement of her childbirth earlier in 2020.
However, the group added that “We are still investigating this.”
The group also noted with dismay the condition Leah Sharibu has been subjected to, saying the Federal Government has abandoned the Dapchi “heroine Christian” schoolgirl.
A statement by the convener of the US-Nigeria Law Group, Emmanuel Ogebe, says, “despite an offer by an American pastor last month to surrender himself in exchange for Leah’s freedom, there has been no tangible response from her captors.
“That notwithstanding, intelligence received on the status of Leah indicates that she has delivered a second child in captivity.
“While we have not corroborated this by multiple sources, a usually knowledgeable source indicated that she delivered a second child late last year.
“This means both children were born in 2020 as the terrorists announced her childbirth earlier in 2020. We are still investigating this.”
Recall that Leah Sharibu, alongside 109 female students, was abducted by Boko Haram insurgents from their school in Dapchi, Yobe State. She has been in captivity for 3 years and was forced to denounce her faith and accept Islam before being married off to a top Boko Haram commander.
