Christian Dapchi Schoolgirl finally freed and on her way back home - IGP
Inspector General of Police Ibrahim Idris on Saturday said the Federal Government has reached a breakthrough in securing Leah Sharibu‘s release and she is on her way back home.
He confirmed this in an interview with journalists at the Military Command and Control Center in Maiduguri where he visited the Theatre Commander Operation Lafiya Dole.
He said he had been scheduled to travel to Dapchi but shelved the trip so as not to jeopardize her release.
Leah Sharibu was the only Christian girl among the Dapchi schoolgirls kidnapped by Boko Haram.
Islamist terror group Book Haram had reportedly held back on freeing Leah Sharibu on account of her not renouncing her Christian faith.
Leah refused to accept Islam, despite pleas from her classmates to pretend to do so.
The now freed girl is on her way to Dapchi, Yobe State, according to the Police IG on Saturday evening.
