2,557 Days After, Foundation Demands Release Of Liah From Boko Haram

After 2,557 days of Liah Shaibu being in Boko Haram’s captivity, a peace advocate foundation, Gedion and Funmi Para-Mallam Foundation, has called on President Bola Tinubu to immediately initiate means of rescuing Shaibu and all other persons captured by the terrorists.

The foundation made the call yesterday in Jalingo Taraba State to commemorate the 7th anniversary of Shaibu who was kidnapped alongside 119 girls at Government Science and Technology College, Yobe State on the 19th February 2018.

Demanding the release of Shaibu and other captives from Boko Haram, the chief executive officer ( CEO) of Para-Mallam Peace Foundation, Gedion Para Mallam, wondered why the name Liah has not been mentioned since the assumption of office by Tinubu.

He urged the president and his wife to intensify efforts to release Shaibu and other girls been captured by the insurgents

“Liah has been in captivity because she refused to deny Jesus; she kept her faith, it is surprising that since the assumption of Bola Tinubu as the President of Nigeria, nobody has mentioned her name, and no government official has made an attempt to let the whole world know about Liah.

“We are calling on President Tinubu, his wife, Sen. Olulemi Tinubu, the well-meaning Nigerians, the international communities, and even the Boko Haram members to be touched with the spirit of God to ensure the release of Liah.

“Apart from Liah, there are. other hundreds of both Muslim and Christian girls that are captured by members of Boko Haram, and they have been there for years; we demand immediate efforts from the government and the armed forces to ensure their immediate rescue,” Gedion stated.
