Leah Sharibu, the lone Christian girl who was held by Boko Haram because she refused to recite the Islamic statement of faith, shahada, has given birth to her second child in captivity.
Convener of the U.S.-Nigeria Law group, Emmanuel Ogebe, revealed this in a statement on Tuesday, March 23.
He said the group received an intelligence report that Leah Sharibu, who was among the 110 adopted secondary girls in Dapchi in Yobe State has given birth to a second child.
According to the statement, Leah Sharibu gave birth to the second child last year, adding that despite efforts by an American pastor in February to surrender himself in exchange for Leah’s freedom, the dreaded terrorist group refused the offer.
The statement said Nigeria was undergoing “full-scale onslaught on education in Nigeria by Islamist extremists: Boko Haram wars against education; bandits mass kidnap of children in school; and religious violence against Christian mission school owners in Ilorin over hijab controversy.”
