President Muhammadu Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari has again promised that he will continue to seek and secure the release of all children and captives of terrorists in the country.

In a statement personally signed by the Nigerian leader on the second anniversary of Dapchi school girls abduction, the President noted that 2 years ago, 110 innocent children from the town of Dapchi were taken, against their will, by the terrorists of Boko Haram.

107 survived the ordeal adding that today all but one – Leah Sharibu – are returned to their families.

President Buhari said that now aged 16, Leah remains in the hands of the terrorists because she refuses to renounce her Christian faith.

The President noted in the statement that as the government for and of all Nigerians, no person has the right to force another to change their faith against their will and that all life is sacred.

“This government continues and seeks to secure the release of all children and captives of terrorists – and we do so regardless of their creed or the name of their creator”.

While noting that his administration will redouble efforts for Leah’s return, it will never allow the terrorists to divide us – Christian against Muslim, Muslim against Christian.
