CAN On Leah Shribu, Child Birth, And Why Buhari Should Speak Up
The Northern wing of the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN has tasked President Muhammadu Buhari to frontally address questions concerning the present fate of abducted schoolgirl, Leah Sharibu and bring her out of the captivity of Boko Haram whether or not she has a baby.
The Chairman, Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN in the 19 Northern States and the FCT, Rev. Yakubu Pam in a statement made available to reporters in Jos, Plateau State dismissed insinuations of her conversion to Islam saying that Leah is a good girl who held firm under severe and unimaginable conditions.
In the statement, CAN said:
“The news making the rounds that Leah had given birth to a baby boy for a Boko Haram Commander came to the Northern Christian Community as a shock and should be investigated by the Federal Security agencies.
“President Buhari should verify this claim to authenticate the source of the story and if confirmed to be true, should do all that is within his power to negotiate the release of Leah without further delay from Boko haram den to be reunited with her parents.
“Leah remains a good and worthy Ambassador of Jesus Christ that is being persecuted by Boko Haram insurgents on account of her faith, whatever might have happened to her in the cause of her captivity in the Boko Haram den in the last two years could have been under duress and brute force by the insurgents.
“Leah is not married to any Boko haram Commander as claimed by the insurgents.”
“The situation Miss Sharibu found herself in Boko Haram den is not what any Girl child could wish to experience in her life time or wish to happen to any other girl child from the Southern part of the country.
“The Church in the North is still behind the position of Leah’s parents whose demand at the moment is for the release of their daughter from Boko haram den either with a baby or no baby born to a Boko haram Commander.”
