Anxiety has continue to mount over the safety of Leah Sharibu the only remaining Dapchi girl abducted by Boko Haram.
Her father Nathaniel Sharibu couldn’t confirm his daughter's state as he alleged that he was barred from talking to the press.
Also, an attempt to speak with the mother, Mrs. Rebecca Sharibu, was not successful.
Meanwhile, Emmanuel Ogebe, lawyer of the U.S. Nigeria Law Group, in a mail said : “I wish to clarify that there is no updated status report on the welfare of Leah Sharibu.
“The Federal Government has not spoken about Leah’s return this year at all, despite its promises 10 months ago that she would also be released. We hope this is not another failed promise of this government.
He said fellow activists in the United Kingdom (UK) were bracing for a global call to action to commemorate Leah’s one year in captivity should the FGN fail to produce her by then.
Solidarity actions for Leah are being planned in major United States of America cities of Baltimore, Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, Atlanta, Houston, Washington DC, Boston and Dallas , amongst others for Sunday February 17, 2019.
