Leah Sharibu: Mother laments as daughter spends yuletide in captivity

The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, has assured the families of kidnapped Dapchi schoolgirl Leah Sharibu and two abducted aid workers that the Federal Government will leave no stone unturned to secure their release.

The minister gave the assurance on Friday when he led a three-member Federal Government delegation to Maiduguri in Borno State and Dapchi in Yobe State.

In Dapchi, the delegation, which also included the Minister of State for Industry, Trade, and Investment, who also oversees Women Affairs, Hajiya Aisha Abubakar met with Rebecca Sharibu, Mother of Leah, as well as other members of their family at an emotion-laden ceremony.

Mr. Mohammed said in a statement in Abuja on Saturday, that President Muhammadu Buhari sent the delegation as a follow-up to his phone call to Leah’s mother a few days ago, adding that the government will not rest until Leah has been reunited with her family.
