Leah Sharibu: I’m ready to accept Boko Haram as my in- law – mother, Rebecca

Rebecca Sharibu, mother of Leah, the Christian
schoolgirl abducted by Boko Haram has said that she
is ready to have any member of the Islamic terrorist
group as a son-in-law if that will ensure the release of
her daughter.
Leah has remained in Boko Haram enclave on account
of her refusal to renounce her faith even after her
fellow 109 abductees were released to their families a
month later.
She was the only Christian among the 110 schoolgirls
abducted by the Islamic State West African Province
(ISWAP) from their school in Dapchi, Yobe State, on
February 19, 2018.
Leah Sharibu turned 17 last Thursday, May 14, and
marked her third birthday in captivity.
Rebecca further expressed disappointment with the
President Muhammadu Buhari government’s unending
negotiation for her daughter’s freedom, which she
described as “a scam to satisfy themselves.”
Rebecca said that, “All that matters now is the safe
arrival of my precious Leah.”
She said she is now ready to take even an outlaw for
in-law, rather than lose her daughter, adding, “You may
call him an outlaw, but to me, her husband will be my
son. I will take and treat him as an in-law,” as quoted
by the Guardian.
