Abducted Aid Worker By Insurgents Claims Leah Sharibu Is Dead (VIDEO)

Published July 25, 2019

Grace Taku, the aid worker kidnapped by Boko Haram terrorists on July 18, in a video obtained by RegentAfrica Times on Wednesday has claimed that Leah Sharibu alongside one Alice has been killed by the insurgents because of the Federal Government of Nigeria’s inability to “do something”.

In the video, the victim appealed to the federal government and the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) to help secure her release.

She said she did not want to share the same fate with previous victims who were killed because no one came to their rescue.

She was the only Christian schoolgirl who was not released by the terrorists after the Federal Government negotiated the release of others.

According to the video, the transcript of her appeal reads: “My name is Grace, I work with Action Against Hunger, an NGO in Borno State; my base is Damasak. We went to work on Thursday, 18th July 2019. On our way going Back to Damasak by Keneri/Chamba ward, we were caught by an army called the Kaliphas and they brought us here. We don’t know where we are.

“I want to beg the Christian Association of Nigeria because I am the only Christian among the six of us here. I want to beg that CAN should please do something about me to see how I can be released. I call on Borno State.

“I beg Action Against Hunger. We have families, some of us have children. We are Nigerians who are working for Nigerians. I am begging please, I am begging again, please do something to see that we are released because this has happened in the Red Cross before where some ladies were caught, Hauwa and Zipporah. They also asked to be released but because of Nigeria did not do anything about it, they were killed.

“I am begging on behalf of all of us. I don’t want such to happen to us and it also happened again with Leah and Alice, because Nigeria could not do anything about them, they were not released they were also killed.”
