Leah was one of the 112 girls
kidnapped by Boko Haram insurgents from Girls Technical College, Dapchi, Yobe
state.
While five were reported to have
died, the insurgents released others, but Leah was held back for refusing to
denounce her faith.
Rebecca told Daily Trust that she
was reunited with Leah in her dream.
She said her daughter appeared to
her at midnight, in a red dress and hugged her with a broad smile plastered
across her face.
Rebecca said Leah narrated her
ordeal in captivity. “I finally got my freedom Mama,” she quoted Leah to have
said in the dream.
“Mama, I really suffered in [Boko
Haram’s] hands. We sleep on leaves and barely take baths, but they fed me
well.”
Rebecca said she was sad to
realise it was only a dream when she woke up.
“Yes, we hugged each other very
tight in such a way that no force could separate us before narrating her
ordeals to me,” she said.
“Those minutes of excitement
nearly took away all my sorrow.
“Sadly, it was a dream. I cried
when I opened my eyes and realized it. I tried going back to sleep for more,
but I couldn’t,” she said.
“I cried throughout that night
and prayed that God should make it reality.”
Rebecca said Leah will not return
to her school in Dapchi when she regains her freedom.
She said no official from the
state or federal governments, or even the school principal, has visited her
home since the incident.
She complained that the
government has failed to keep the family abreast of developments regarding
Leah.
“I’ve already transferred her
brother to a school in Jos. She is the only one I am waiting for now,” she
said.
“It’s very sad and frustrating,
each time we hear something from the media about our daughter. Recently,
government said that negotiation for my daughter’s release is complicated.
“As parents, we should be
informed of any development before going to press.
“The government’s way of relaying
the information is making me angrier, and more frightened by the day.”
Leah turned 15 on May 14, a
birthday she marked without family and friends, as she remains a prisoner of
one of the world’s top terrorist groups.
