Leah Sharibu: Grand Cover-Up By Buhari’s Gov’t, New Book Alleges
A new book titled “Leah Sharibu: The Girl Boko Haram Left Behind” has alleged a grand cover-up by President Muhammadu Buhari’s government.
Leah Sharibu was amongst 110 girls captured by Boko Haram in Dapchi Girls Secondary School, Yobe state on February 19, 2018, and remains the only girl in captivity because of her Christian faith.

The book, which was released on July 15, 2018, by bestselling author, Reno Omokri, on Amazon, allegedly reveals the conspiracy in Boko Haram’s continued custody of Ms Sharibu by the Federal Government.
Omokri said the purpose of the book is to expose the alleged conspiracy as well as “apply pressure” on the government to ensure the safe recovery of the schoolgirl from her captors.
“Leah Sharibu will not be forgotten as long as I am alive. What she is going through may be similar to what Malala Yousafzai went through, but when you look deeper into it, her ordeal is even worse. Malala was attacked because of her advocacy for education.
“Leah is in captivity because of her loyalty to God through Jesus. The world needs more people like Leah, a conscience-driven individual who has the courage of her convictions.

“Some people have asked me why I have chosen to take up this campaign for Leah instead of leaving it in the hands of the Nigerian government. To those people, I respond by quoting a paragraph from a statement the Christian Association of Nigeria released on June 22, 2018: “Never in the history of Nigeria has a presidential spokesperson insulted an entire religion as has happened today when a spokeswoman of the president called the Christian Association of Nigeria a “CAN of Worms”, simply because we are insisting that the government must help rescue Leah Sharibu and stop the killings of Christians by Islamic radicals.
“How can I or indeed anyone in their right mind expect a government, like the one described above, to actually care enough about Leah to do something without it being pressured into action? The purpose of this book there is to apply that pressure,” Omokri said.
