SAN FRANCISCO, March 30, (THEWILL) – Senator Buka Abba-Ibrahim has revealed that serious negotiations are ongoing for the release of Leah Sharibu and the remaining Chibok School Girls abducted by the Boko Haram.
The lawmaker, representing Yobe East senatorial district revealed this in a point of order at plenary on Thursday.
Ibrahim was responding to his colleagues who called for Sharibu’s release saying that serious talks were ongoing for her release.
He described the situation as unfortunate, more so as it appears that she would spend Easter in captivity rather than with her family.
THEWILL recalls that Sharibu is one of more than a hundred Dapchi schoolgirls that were abducted by the Boko Haram on February 19, 2018, in Yobe State.
Five of her colleagues died in captivity while 104 others were released on March 21, 2018, but she was held back in captivity for allegedly refusing to denounce her Christian faith.
