Leah Sharibu Now Leader of ISWAP Medical Team In Lake Chad – Report

Leah Sharibu, one of the 110 female students who attended the Government Girls’ Science and Technical College in Dapchi, Yobe State, and who were kidnapped on February 19, 2018, is now the leader of a terror organization’s medical team in Lake Chad, according to a report.

While the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) reportedly released 104 of the girls to their families with the exception of Sharibu, five of the girls reportedly died in captivity.

Leah Sharibu reportedly was retained by ISWAP because she resisted accepting Islam in place of her Christian faith.

The terrorists had entered into negotiations with the government and had threatened to kill Sharibu if their demands were not met.

Saifura Ahmed was one of three humanitarian aid workers connected to the International Committee of the Red Cross and Red Crescent (ICRC) who had been kidnapped by ISWAP in March. In September 2018, they executed Saifura Ahmed and threatened to kill the other two as well as Leah Sharibu.

A threat to keep Sharibu as a “slave for life” was made by ISWAP after the death of the second, Hauwa Mohammad Liman, in October. “.

Leah was allegedly “trained” on how to provide some medical care to hurt Boko Haram fighters and female members after she was abducted, according to a report.

One of the tricks used by terrorists in the North-East is to make their captives who have training in fields like engineering, computer science, nursing, and medicine train their own members in those fields.

She has led the ISWAP medical team in the northern Lake Chad region since being “trained” as a medical professional, the source claimed.

After divorcing her first husband, for whom she had two children, Leah is also said to have remarried an ISWAP commander.

Nathan, Leah’s father, claimed that the government had abandoned his family in March 2020.

“Since my daughter was taken, I have not heard from the federal, state, or local governments. Now I’m even more perplexed. I need your help to make the Federal Government act to secure the release of my daughter, he had stated.
