Leah audio: Act fast, PFN tells Buhari

National President of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN), Rev.
(Dr) Felix Omobude, has urged the federal government to “act swiftly in rescuing the Dapchi school girl, Leah Sharibu, from the captivity of the Boko Haram insurgents.” Omobude, in a press statement issued yesterday in Benin City, called on the fedral government “to do all it takes to free the innocent Dapchi school girl.” The Christian leader stated this in response to a recent audio recording message during which Leah Sharibu sent a passionate appeal to President Muhammadu Buhari to have pity on her and secure her release.
Leah Sharibu is the Christian girl who was kidnapped alongside 118 students of Government Girls Secondary School, Dapchi, Yobe state.
All the abducted girls were subsequently released, but Leah was held back for her refusal to renounce her Christian faith.
Omobude said: “The Federal government should act fast now; do the needful and spare no efforts in securing the release of innocent Leah who had been held hostage for the past seven months.
“The PFN is considerably worried why it’s taking the government such a long time to secure the release of Leah Sharibu from the Boko Haram enclave.
“The PFN, therefore, calls on the President Muhammadu-led Federal government to do the needful to reduce the tension arising from her continuous detention against her will.” He further called on “Christians and Nigerians of goodwill to continue to pray for Leah’s safe return and re-union with her family.”
