The Christian Association of Nigeria has expressed uncertainty about whether the Federal Government is working towards Leah Sharibu’s release from Boko Haram captivity.
The group also condemned the FG’s decision to grant amnesty to repentant Boko Haram fighters, claiming it “is rather troubling and suspicious”.
The statement read in part, “It is two years now since the young Christian girl and unarguably, the face of the Church in the country, Miss Leah Sharibu, was captured by Boko Haram along with other colleagues but she is the only one still languishing in the den of her captors as a captive of faith simply because against the pressure from the terrorists, she would not convert to Islam.
“We are equally disappointed and disturbed by the failure of the Federal Government to react to the footage going round that the Turkish government is allegedly funding the terrorists. We call on the government to please stop releasing those who are responsible for the horrendous killings in the country.
Samuel said, “Rather, they should give us no cause to cry for a violence-free society again by restoring peace to all regions. We call on Christians and all well-meaning Nigerians to continue to pray and speak against the continuous killing of Nigerians and the unfounded excuses always given by those in government to explain away the absurd situation.”Meanwhile, the Federal Government has asked anyone having evidence that Turkey has been supplying Boko Haram weapons to come forward.
