Rescue Our Daughter, We’ll Accept Her In Any Condition – Leah Sharibu’s Parents Tell Buhari

Nathan and Rebecca Sharibu, parents of a kidnapped young girl, Leah Sharibu has urged the Federal Government to come to their aid and rescue their child from the hands of her abductors.

The concerned parents have urged the president to accept the American offer of assistance to secure the release of their daughter from the hands of her kidnappers.

Dr Gloria Puldu, spokesperson of the parents of Leah released a statement that clearly spells out that they want to see the face of their daughter in no time.

The statement read:

“Morning of March 23 was another very difficult day as we woke up to the very sad and heartbreaking rumours that Leah Sharibu, who is still in captivity for three years, has given birth to a second baby in captivity.

“It is a very big shame on General Buhari and his entire government. He has abandoned this young child in captivity.

”Two weeks ago, Nathan and Rebecca called on him to use the current negotiators his government is using, who has successfully negotiated and secured the release of most if not all 300 Muslim Kankara boys from Katsina in December 2020 just six days after their abduction.

“In February 2021 they also negotiated and secured the release of about 27 schoolboys from Kagara in Niger State and 317 schoolgirls from Jangebe in Zamfara who all regained their freedom within few days of their abduction.

“Nigeria has woefully failed Leah Sharibu, what a very big shame. Nations all across the world value their citizens and will go to any length to rescue their adult citizens let alone their children, yet the Buhari administration has abandoned Leah Sharibu the lone Christian girl for over three years in captivity.

“This same administration has abandoned the remaining 112 Chibok girls for almost seven years. Nigerians recently saw how the American government came to rescue one of its citizens who was abducted in the Niger Republic but transported into Nigeria (another sovereign state).

“Yet Leah, a minor, has been abandoned and forgotten by her government. We know that the American government has recently offered to assist Nigeria in its fight against insecurity if the Nigerian government requests its assistance.

“Leah’s parents are calling on General Buhari to please accept the American offer of assistance to secure the release of their daughter, especially if his current successful negotiators are not able to secure her release as they did with the recent school abductions.”
