Buhari calls Leah Sharibu’s mother

President Muhammadu Buhari, Wednesday, is said to have spoken with Mrs Rebecca Sharibu, mother of the Dapchi Secondary schoolgirl, Leah, who had been kidnapped by Boko Haram terrorists.

Leah has been in the terrorists’ den since she was abducted, along with 109 other girls since February 9, 2018. While the others have been released, Leah was held back allegedly because she refused to renounce her Christian faith.

During the phone call to Mrs Sharibu, Buhari was said to have assured her that his administration will do everything it would take to bring her daughter back home.
