Leah Sharibu and Pastor Enoch Adeboye
The need to release long abducted girl, Leah Sharibu, has been restated.
The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Enoch Adeboye, who repeated his earlier call for her immediate release from her abductors, charged every parent and people of goodwill all over the world to use whatever influence they have to ensure that Leah Sharibu as well as other children in captivity were released without any further delay.
In a statement personally signed by the clergyman, he called on all pastors in the RCCG as well as all well-meaning people all over the world to intensify their prayers and efforts towards Leah’s release.
On February 19, 2018, 110 schoolgirls were abducted by the Boko Haram terrorist group from the Government Girls Science and Technical College, Dapchi, in Yobe State, Nigeria. Five of the girls reportedly died on the day of the abduction. While all the other girls were later released after some negotiation, only Leah Sharibu was left with the captors and she has since been in their custody.
