Leah sharibu high flying scholar still in captivity
Leah Sharibu is a Nigerian Christian schoolgirl who was kidnapped by Boko Haram, a terrorist group, on February 19, 2018, along with 109 other schoolgirls from Government Girls' Science and Technical College in Dapchi, Yobe State, Nigeria.
Leah was 14 years old at the time of her kidnapping and was one of the few Christian students in the school. She was taken along with the other girls to a Boko Haram camp in the Sambisa Forest, where they were held captive and subjected to physical and emotional abuse.
Despite efforts by the Nigerian government and international organizations to secure her release, Leah remains in captivity to this day. Her parents, Nathan and Rebecca Sharibu, have been advocating for her release and have received support from various organizations and individuals around the world.
Leah's case has drawn international attention and has been highlighted by various human rights organizations, including Amnesty International and the United Nations. In 2019, the Nigerian government announced that it had reached a deal with Boko Haram to release Leah and other captives, but the deal ultimately fell through.
Leah's continued captivity has been a source of concern and outrage, with many calling for her immediate release. Her case has also highlighted the ongoing crisis in Nigeria, where Boko Haram has been responsible for numerous attacks and kidnappings, particularly targeting Christian communities.
In recent years, Leah has become a symbol of hope and resilience, with many people around the world praying for her safe release and advocating for her freedom. Despite the challenges she has faced, Leah remains a high-flying scholar and a beacon of hope for many young girls around the world.
