According to a source close to Boko Haram, Leah Sharibu was forced to accept Islam before being married off to the sect commander.

According to Sahara Reporters, Leah was forced to accept Islam before she was married off to a Boko Haram commander while in captivity.

Leah, the only Christian student among the kidnapped students from Government Secondary School, Dapchi, Adamawa State, refused to denounce her faith and was denied freedom in 2018.

Despite calls for her release, the terrorists vowed to keep her as a "slave for life".

Meanwhile, the federal government has continued to insist that it is in talks with Boko Haram leaders for Leah's release.
