Former Senate President, Bukola Saraki on Friday contacted father of Leah Sharibu, the abducted Dapchi girl still in captivity of Boko Haram.<\/p>\n

Thursday marked the second year of Leah Sharibu in the captivity of insurgents.<\/p>\n

DAILY POST recalls that Leah was abducted by Boko Haram terrorists sometime in February 2018 from Government Girls\u2019 Science and Technical College, Dapchi, Bursari Local Government Area of Yobe State.<\/p>\n

However, the insurgents, released some girls but held onto Leah over her refusal to renounce her fate as a Christian.<\/p>\n

President Muhammadu Buhari few days ago expressed concern that Leah was the only one left in captivity because she refused to renounce her faith.<\/p>\n

Saraki in a post on Twitter disclosed that he reassured Leah Sharibu\u2019s father in a phone call that his daughter will return home safely soon.<\/p>\n

The former senate president also prayed that Security agencies end insurgency ravaging the country very soon.<\/p>\n

Saraki wrote: \u201cEarlier this evening, I spoke with Mr Nathan Sharibu to personally sympathize with him over the two-year ordeal his family has had to endure with the continued captivity of his daughter, Leah. I prayed with him that Allah will one day ensure her safe return.<\/p>\n

\u201cI also prayed that Allah will give our security agencies the wisdom and skill required to bring this insurgency to an end.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
