Nigerians have called for the release of Leah Sharibu, the only Christian among the 110 female students kidnapped at the Government Girls Technical College, Dapchi, Yobe State on February 18, 2018, as she marks her 16th birthday in the custody of her captors.
Nigerians have taken to Social Media to celebrate Leah on her 16th birthday and also to remind Buhari of his promise.
Dear Leah Sharibu,

As Leah Sharibu marks her birthday in captivity today, I join other Nigerians and lovers of peace in the world to urge the FG Govt to ensure her release. God will sustain and her family members.

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.
