Rebecca Sharibu, mother of Christian schoolgirl Leah Sharibu abducted by Boko Haram in 2018, has marked her 22nd birthday in captivity, seven years after being taken from her school in Dapchi, Yobe State.
Rebecca released a heartfelt video message on the occasion, expressing the overwhelming pain of their prolonged separation.
Leah was among 110 girls kidnapped from Government Girls’ Science and Technical College on February 19, 2018 but singled out and held captive for refusing to renounce her Christian faith.
Rebecca appealed to people of faith and conscience to continue praying for Leah and others still held captive due to their religious beliefs.
The case has drawn international attention, with organisations like Open Doors UK advocating for Leah’s freedom.
