The International Christian
Concern, ICC, has disclosed that Boko Haram’s vow to keep Leah Sharibu as a
slave means they would no longer accept ransom from the government.
Coordinator of ICC, Olivia Miller
said this while calling on the Federal Government to stop lying to Nigerians
but to hunt down terrorists and end Boko Haram’s reign.
Speaking on the vow made by Boko
Haram to keep Alice and Leah Sharibu as slaves for life, Miller said: ”This
means that they are likely going to keep them permanently. They are saying that
they will no longer accept any ransom or rewards for them, but will likely use
them for work, force them to convert to Islam, and probably rape and beat them.
“Eventually, they will probably
sell them to a rich Muslim man, who will force them to marry and own them.
These are all things that Boko Haram is well known for doing to young women.
“My only hope is that they are
just using this to try and get more money from the government. This would mean
that there is still a chance that they can be saved.
ICC, which is a non-partisan
charitable organisation focused on human rights and assisting the persecuted
Christian Church, told Vanguard, “Boko Haram must be destroyed in order to
ensure that this doesn’t keep happening, but the government must first stop
lying by saying that they have already won.”
