After being held back by terrorists for refusing to denounce her Christian faith, abducted Dapchi schoolgirl, Leah Sharibu, has finally accepted Islam.
Politics Nigeria recalls that Leah was abducted alongside over 100 schoolmates from Government Girls Technical College, Dapchi, Yobe State on February 19, 2018.
While others regained their freedom, the terrorists refused to release Leah who according to her mates “refused to denounce her Christian faith”.
There were reports that Leah had been married off to one of the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) commanders.
But emerging report says that Leah has divorced her first husband for another ISWAP commander.
“Leah was first married to Abdulrahman after she allegedly converted to Islam and they have two children, all boys that were named after two Boko Haram commanders that were killed,” a source told DailyTrust.
“We don’t know what transpired but Leah secured the divorce and married another commander, Ali Abdallah.”
The source said after her abduction, Leah was “trained” on how to administer some medical services to injured Boko Haram fighters and women.
According to the source, one of the antics of terrorists in the north-east is forcing their captives with expertise in fields like medicine, nursing, engineering, among others to train their members on such areas.
“She was trained as a medical personnel and now leads the ISWAP medical team in the northern part of the Lake Chad area,” the source said.
Another source said: “Ten days ago, Leah, her supposed husband and other fighters were sighted at Dogon Chukwun kangarwa.
“Her husband is a commander under ISWAP but they are facing persecution from a Boko Haram commander loyal to Shekau, Malam Bakura.
“As of today, we got a report that a large contingent of the ISWAP fighters has started migrating from the area through Guzamala forest.
“They were sighted on the route of Cross – Mosquito camp- Garin-giwa (where the Zulum’s convoy was attacked) – Munguno – Gajiram with cache of dangerous arms,” he said.
