Mother of Government Girls’ Science Technical Student in Boko Haram captivity, Rebecca, is devastated as she had to observe another Christmas without her daughter – Sharibu Leah.
Sharibu remains with the insurgents because of her refusal to change to Islam.
But a friend to the mum, Dr Gloria Sandi, of the Department of Political Science, University of Jos, said on Friday that the mum (Rebeca) was dejected.
According to ‘The Punch’, Sharibu’s continued stay with Boko Haram is not what the family hoped for.
Sandi is quoted as saying, “Leah Sharibu’s mother had a devastating Christmas; she has been down with serious fever and she is just recovering. It has not been easy spending Christmas without Leah. The hope of the entire family was that by this time, the assurances that the Federal Government gave to us when the three honourable ministers visited that Leah was going to be released would come true.
“We all had our hopes high, November passed, we are in December and thought that she would be out from captivity and be around on the Christmas day. Her birthday was on May 24 when she turned 15 years. It was a very devastating Christmas, despite the fact that our hopes had been completely in God.”
