This is the picture of 15-year-old Leah Sharibu, the only victim of the Dapchi abduction yet to be released by the Boko Haram terrorists.
She was reportedly held back by her abductors because of her refusal to be forcefully converted to Islam. Leah is said to be the only Christian among the 110 abductees.
