Nigerians are reacting to the reported death of kidnapped Dapchi school girl, Leah Sharibu, who was on February 19, 2018 alongside 105 other school girls of Dapchi High school.
Following the release of others, Miss Sharibu was left behind because she refused to renounce her faith and covert to Islam.
Since her kidnap, the federal government has been making promises upon promises regarding her release, but all efforts remained futile.
She has been in the captivity of a faction of Islamist terrorists group, West African Province of the Islamic State” (ISWAP), until today – when a video surfaced of another captive of the sect, Grace Taku, who is an aide worker with Red Cross, stating she was dead.
According to Grace Taku, Miss Sharibu had been killed by the sect due to government’s inability to swiftly negotiate her release.

Rest In Peace Leah Sharibu.
You were an innocent child who was undeserving of the wickedness afflicted upon you.
You were abandoned by your govt when you needed help the most.
Nigeria has failed you.

Leah sharibu, the Almighty God you believed in will make your souls eternal rest. Humanly we all failed you
Our govt has failed us, shame on all our leaders, shame to my country Nigeria.Leah RIP
I love your courage sister Leah Sharibu. You died for your faith. May you rest in peace. But Nigeria Government has question to answer before God.
May you find peace in Jesus Christ our Lord whom you refused to denounce, may your soul rest in peace. Amen.
I don’t want believe that Leah Sharibu has been kilked. If it is true all I can say is this: it is the Buhari APC Government and all its unrepentant supporters since 2014 – 2015 that killed Leah. Their young daughters shall suffer worse fate from generation to generation unless they turn over in Holy and True Repenzance to Christ. Leah, no doubt, you made the Book of Life in Heaven Above. Live on in the Bossom of JESUS!
