Leah Sharibu’s father Nathan Sharibu has said he is unsure his daughter recently had a baby for a Boko Haram commander. Nathan was reacting to the report published on Saturday in some Nigerian newspapers that the Leah got pregnant by a Boko Haram commander who had married her and lived outside Nigeria. Ahmed Salkilda, a Nigerian journalist known to have links with the terror, also claimed Leah is now a “mother”. Leah Sharibu, who turns 17 in May, is one of the kidnapped 110 girls and one boy from the girls’ school in Dapchi, in February 2018. After negotiations with the Nigerian government, Boko Haram freed many of her schoolmates but denied her freedom because she failed to renounce her faith.
