How Nigeria Failed Leah Sharibu! Reactions Trail Second Birth In Boko Haram Captivity
Nigerians took to social media on Tuesday to lament the fate of the secondary school girl, Leah Sharibu who was abducted with her school mates in 2018 by Boko Haram insurgents. Reports emerged on Tuesday that Leah Sharibu had given birth to a second baby at the end of 2020 in the custody of Boko Haram.
Though her schoolmates were returned, Sharibu was kept behind after she refused to renounce her Christian faith for Islam as demanded by her abductors.
On Monday it was reported by a United States based group which monitors Boko Haram activities that Sharibu who was 16 years at the time of her capture had given birth to a second child following her forceful marriage to a Boko Haram commander.
The news of the continued incarceration of the school girl and the seeming Federal Government abandonment of her case brought emotions to many Nigerians of the state of insecurity in the country and the seeming incapacity of the present administration to respond to the issue.
Responding to the news that Leah Sharibu had given birth after marriage, the California based preacher and political activist, Reno Reno Omokri said:
It is not possible for a girl that was abducted and held at gunpoint to consent to sexual intercourse, let alone marriage. Leah Sharibu is a hostage. I spoke to her father. We still want her back even if she has given birth to 10 babies. Still #FreeLeahSharibu!
Several others who reacted to the development flayed the government with some also saying Nigeria as a society had failed Leah Sharibu.
They said:
Man of Letters.
An American pastor even offered to surrender himself to BH in place of Leah Sharibu and these terrorists refused. Remember that next time they tell you this is not about Religion.

A twitter user with the identity, ‘Who r you to he, to she, to him or hair’ tweeting @SamanthaVouPam said:

Just in… Leah Sharibu give birth to second baby in the hand of Boko Haram captivity. Recall that other girls who was abducted with her was released because they are all Muslim except her a Christian so she was kept behind for about eight year now. One Nigeria Right?

You’ve remained silent on Leah Sharibu’s pains. The pain of a little schoolgirl held in Boko haram captivity for years for refusing to denounce her Christian faith, raped repeatedly, & now having a second child.
You failed your children. Now: #FreeLeahSharibu
