Omokri, Bovi, Ndume, Murray-Bruce lead call for Leah Sharibu’s rescue on 16th birthday

May 14, 2019

A former aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, Reno Omokri, has led others in the call for Leah Sharibu’s rescue as she clocks 16 in Boko Haram captivity.

Sharibu, a Christian, was among 110 students of Government Girls Science and Technical Secondary School, Dapchi, kidnapped on February 19, 2018.

But while all the other girls were released, Sharibu has been held back since then for refusing to denounce her Christian faith.

In a video posted on Twitter on Tuesday, comedian Bovi and Senators Ben Murray-Bruce and Ali Ndume joined Omokri in the call for her rescue.

They prayed that Sharibu would celebrate her 17th birthday in her hometown in the company of her loved ones.

Dear Leah Sharibu,

My friends, Senators @BenMurrayBruce and Ali Ndume, along with @OfficialBovi and award winning flutist, Tee Mac Omatsola, join me and members of the #RenosNuggets family to say #Happy16THBirthDayLeahSharibu

Over 400 days in Captivity of Boko Haram. Simply because she refused to denounce her faith.

Who does Leah Sharibu represent to you? To me she is a representation of a failing state called #Nigeria, she is an emblem of our ethic and cultural division, she is THE SACRIFICIAL LAMB chosen and persecuted because she refused to deny Jesus Christ. What a great faith! HBD Leah. pic.twitter.com/6rUOAgxNxg
