Mrs Rebbeca Sharibu, mother of one of the abducted Dapchi secondary schoolgirls, Leah Sharibu, said the reports of her daughter’s death won’t dampen her hope of seeing her alive.
Mrs Sharibu was reacting to a video released by Boko Haram where an abducted aid worker, Grace, called on the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN ) and Action Against Hunger, an International Non-Governmental Organisation working in Borno State, to rescue her before she is “killed like other abductees like Alice and Leah.”
She said “no matter how long it takes, my hope is still alive that my daughter will come back alive from Boko Haram. I still look forward to that day and I am confident that she will return.”

“I am bothered by the recent silence about my daughter’s case, but I still want to cry to the President. I want our President Buhari to know that my eyes are still wet with tears over my daughter’s abduction. I will continue to cry to him, until my daughter returns to me.
“I also want to still appeal to the people that are holding my daughter to please have mercy on her and release her without any condition. She does not know anything. What has she done to deserve what she is going through?”
Grace, the only woman in a group of six captives, could be heard in the video that was allegedly released by Boko Haram, calling on the authorities to save them from their abductors who she referred to as the “Army of Khalifa”.
