Nathan Sharibu, the father of the teenage Christian girl, Leah, has finally reacted to the News that his daughter has given birth to a baby and has been married off to a commander of the Boko Haram terrorist group.
Nahan failed to respond when initially contacted after the News broke on Saturday evening, has now responded saying he has received the news of his daughter’s reported motherhood status while still under captivity with all pleasure.
Sharibu, who responded to inquiries from PUNCH said “I remain undaunted because, if that is the will of God; then, I receive it with all pleasure.”
He said despite the psychological trauma occasioned by the news report of his daughter now being a mother, Sharibu added he would not allow it to stop him from “going to church on Sunday (yesterday).”
Sharibu, however, said he was saddened about the “conspiracy” over his daughter’s whereabouts.
This, he argued, was because neither the Federal Government nor Ahmad Salkida, who allegedly broke the news, could claim ignorance of his daughter’s whereabouts.
He said, “ I have been receiving calls from last night, if that is the will of God, it is well. Whatever they have done I receive it with all pleasure. The government knows Leah’s whereabouts.
“I repeat it; the government knows Leah’s whereabouts, as well as Ahmed Salkida. But whatever it is, I don’t have anything more to say, than to receive it (the condition of Leah) with all pleasure.”
Salkida, a journalist known to have very reliable sources within the Islamist Boko Haram terrorist group, had revealed that Leah, one of the abducted Dapchi schoolgirls still under the captivity of the group, “is now a mother.”
