Leah Sharibu Allegedly Delivers Second Baby In Boko Haram Captivity - Report

Following three years and five weeks since Leah Sharibu's abduction in Dapchi, Yobe state, United States-based group, US-Nigeria Law Group, has lamented the plight of the abandoned 'heroine' christian schoolgirl, with a report she has delivered her second child while still in captivity. 

Recall that Leah, still held in captivity, was forced to accept Islam after refusing to renounce her Christian faith, and married off to a top Boko-Haram commander. 

Convener of the US-Nigeria Law Group, Emmanuel Ogebe, disclosed in a statement that despite an American pastor's offer last month to surrender himself in exchange for Leah's freedom, there has been no tangible response from her captors. 

"Intelligence received on the status of Leah indicates that she has delivered a second child in captivity. 

"While we have not corroborated this by multiple sources, a usually knowledgeable source indicated that she delivered a second child late last year. This means both children were born in 2020, as the terrorists announced her childbirth earlier in 2020. We are still investigating this," the report reads partly. 

Leah was among 110 girls, aged between 11 and 19 years, which the dreaded sect abducted from Government Girls' Science and Technical College, Dapchi, on February 19, 2018.
