Christian teenager, Leah Sharibu, who was abducted from her boarding school in North-east Nigeria by Boko Haram insurgents, gave birth to a baby boy early Saturday, a source has revealed.
On February 19, 2018 at 5.30pm, 110 schoolgirls aged 11 to 19 years old were kidnapped by Boko Haram terrorists from the Government Girls’ Science and Technical College (GGSTC) in Dapchi, Yobe State.
Dapchi is located in Bulabulin, Yunusari Local Government Area of Yobe State in North-east Nigeria.
On 21 March, 2018, the Federal Government announced that Boko Haram terrorists had returned 106 of the kidnapped children, holding on to the rest.
Leah, a Christian schoolgirl aged 14 at the time of her capture, is the only remaining Dapichi schoolgirl still held hostage.
Leah was reportedly not released along with the other children, because she refused to convert to Islam.
It has been gathered she was married off to a top Boko Haram commander who lives outside Nigeria.
The source said Leah was delivered of the baby early Saturday in Niger Republic, adding that the insurgents had wanted to release her few months ago but couldn’t because she was pregnant.
