Case of Leah Sharibu, held by Islamists, raised at Westminster

Leah Sharibu

The case of abducted Christian schoolgirl Leah Sharibu has been raised in the UK Parliament.

Sharibu has been held captive since 19 February 2018 when Islamic militants attacked the Government Girls’ Science and Technical School in Dapchi, Yobe State, Nigeria, and abducted 110 schoolgirls.

Reportedly, five girls were tragically killed –104 were returned to their families, but Sharibu was kept because she refused to renounce her Christian faith and convert to Islam.
