Leah Sharibu: Nigeria attacks mother, American organisation over US event
The event, which was a panel discussion tagged “Insecurity in Nigeria: Eyewitnesses Speak”, was hosted by The Heritage Foundation, a Washington-based conservative think tank, on June 11.
It said: “The attention of the Embassy of Nigeria, Washington, D.C., has been drawn to an event your Foundation hosted on June 11, 2019, where you brought alleged Nigerian victims of violence and insecurity: Rebecca Sharibu, mother of Leah Sharibu; Alheri Bawa Magaji and Napoleon Adamu, who gave false and uncorroborated allegations about their experiences.
“In this regard, the Embassy wishes to register its very strong displeasure, and to protest and request that the Foundation provide a platform where the Nigerian Government and other unbiased individuals can inform the American public of the true security situation in Nigeria.’’ About five of the girls died in captivity, while others were released weeks later by the terrorists, who held on to Sharibu reportedly because of her refusal to renounce her Christian faith.
Alheri Magaji, an alleged victim of Fulani herdsmen attacks in southern Kaduna, accused the federal and Kaduna state governments of backing the attackers to wipe out Christian communities in the area. Magaji and Maisamari accused the government of inaction and the Nigerian media of silence whenever Fulani herdsmen killed their people almost on daily basis.
