Nigerians have taken social media by storm to express solidarity with and congratulate kidnapped schoolgirl, Leah Sharibu on her 16th birthday.
Sharibu, who was kidnapped alongside some other girls at the Government Technical College, Dapchi in Yobe State has so far spent 449 days in Boko Haram captivity for refusing to renounce her Christian faith.
This is just as marches are being organised in the United States, United Kingdom and across Nigeria to commemorate the teenager’s birthday and demand her release from captivity.
Some prominent Nigerians that took to the social media to wish Sharibu a happy birthday and pray for her release are Founder of the Omega Fire Ministries, Apostle Johnson Suleman; Senator representing Borno South, Sen. Ali Ndume; Senator representing Bayelsa East, Sen. Ben Murray-Bruce; former Aviation Minister, Chief Femi-Kayode; ex-presidential aide, Reno Omokri; and international flutist, Tee Mac Omatshola Iseli.

Today is Leah Sharibu's birthday. She has been held captive by Boko Haram for over 400 days now simply because she has refused to renounce her Christian faith. She is a reference point for courage, strength and faith and a source of inspiration and pride for every believer.
