By Olusegun Obisanya

The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has again called on Federal Government for the immediate release of Leah Sharibu from the captivity of her abductors.

In a statement signed by the clergyman and obtained by the Gentechnews, he called on all pastors in the RCCG as well as all well-meaning people all over the world to intensify their prayers and efforts towards the release of Leah.

The cleric said, “I, hereby again, call and direct all pastors in The Redeemed Christian Church of God all over the world, not to stop but intensify their prayers for the release of Leah Sharibu.”

Adeboye charged every parent and people of goodwill all over the world to use whatever influence they have to ensure that Leah Sharibu as well as other children in captivity are released without any further delay.

On February 19, 2018, 110 school girls were abducted by the Boko Haram terrorist group from the Governement Girls Science and Technical College, Dapchi in Yobe State, Nigeria. Five of the girls reportedly died on the day of the abduction while all the other girls were later released after some negotiation, only Leah Sharibu was left with the captors and she has since been in their custody.
