A member of Parliament of the United Kingdom, Tom Brake, held a solo protest in front of the Nigerian High Commission in the UK to bring attention to the #FreeLeah campaign. Leah Sharibu is being held in Boko Haram captivity for 199 days today and counting, for refusing to recant her Christian faith.

Brake is calling on the Nigerian government to as a matter of immediacy see to it that Leah is released.

“Outside the Nigerian High Commission launching the #freeleah campaign. Leah, who is still held captive by Boko Haram, because she refused to recant her Christian faith, has been held for 198 days,” he tweeted.

Last week, Leah Sharibu, the only Christian among the abducted 119 students of Government Girls Secondary School, Dapchi, Yobe state, asked President Muhammadu Buhari to save her from captivity.

Leah, who was kidnapped in February, also appealed that her family be assisted.

All the girls who were captured were subsequently released, except five who reportedly died in detention, but Sharibu was held back for “refusing to renounce her faith”.

The Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP), a breakaway faction of Boko Haram, has kept her in captivity for seven months, sparking public outrage.

While at home, we don't give a hoot.

The dignity of life and living has gone to the dogs in Nigeria.

Thanks but no thanks Mr British parliamentarian. This means nothing to our OWN leaders.

The problem Buhari has now is Saraki.
The problem Oshomole has now is Saraki
The problem APC has now is Saraki
Saraki and PDP has paid Tom Brake to embarrass the infallible God of zombies. His Excellency President Muhammadu Adamu Buhari A,k,a, lifeless.

Leah Sharibu, God will rescue you from the hands of your enemies very soon.

All I know for sure is that Buhari is playing games and politics over the issue of Leah. Just watch out, before the conduct of elections across the country, Buhari will expediently release Leah. By then, APC ass licking idiots will be shouting..... Buhari is the only man who cares about humanity and the freedom of the people.

All I am trying to say is that, buhari knows exactly where and when Leah will be set free. In order to gain more political applause and .
