Arrangement has been concluded for the Mother of Leah Sharibu, the only Dapchi school-girl remaining in Boko Haram captivity, Mrs. Rebecca Sharibu to meet the British Prime Minister on her daughter’s case.

Mrs Rebecca Sharibu who spoke in an interview with the Hausa Service of the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) in London, said that, President Muhammadu Buhari was not serious about securing the release of her daughter.

She however said, she was in London to seek the assistance of the the British Government to free Leah from the terrorists’ captivity.

According to Mrs. Sharibu in the interview monitored by our Correspondent in Kaduna on Thursday, President Buhari did not contact their family until seven months after the abduction of their daughter.

She also lamented that, after the President contacted her, and sent down three Ministers, assuring her that Leah was going to be released soon, nothing else else had been said to her by the President.

She however said it was against that background that, she decided to visit London to lay her complaints and seek the British government’s help.

According to her, “I have come to Britain to lay my complaints, I need their help. They should help me, I will like my daughter to be freed from captivity.

“My daughter was abducted among others by Boko Haram terrorists, it was seven months later that President Muhammadu Buhari called me. Since their abduction in February, it was seven months later that he called me.
