MP: ‘I pray for  Leah every day’

Leah Sharibu

A Westminster politician says he prays for abducted Christian schoolgirl Leah Sharibu every day.

On 19 February 2018, 110 Dapchi schoolgirls were kidnapped in north eastern Nigeria by terrorist group Boko Haram, making headlines around the world.

Five girls were killed, but the remaining victims were released the following month – except Leah Sharibu, who refused to deny Christ and convert to Islam.
