Again, Adeboye Seeks Divine Intervention As Leah Sharibu Clocks Three Years In Captivity
The General Overseer of Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has again urged all pastors of the church across the world to continue in their prayers for the release of Leah Sharibu from Boko Haram’s captivity
The clergy, popularly called Daddy GO, also requested; “every parent all over the world to use whatever influence they have to ensure that Leah Sharibu as well as other children in captivity are released.”
In his message to the Church pastorates worldwide, the highly respected Preacher urged them ”not to stop but to intensify their prayers” for divine intervention in the case.
“We shall not relent in our prayers,” Pastor Adeboye said in a statement issued yesterday on the occasion marking the third year of Leah’s abduction in Dapchi, Yobe State by the Boko Haram insurgents.
The brief letter personally signed by him reads thus: “I hereby again, call and direct all Pastors in The Redeemed Christian Church of God, all over the world, not to stop but to intensify their prayers for the release of Leah Sharibu.
“I also call on every parent, all over the world, to use whatever influence they have, to ensure that Leah Sharibu, as well as other children in captivity, is released.
“We shall not relent in our prayers for the captives, including the school children that were abducted recently in Niger State by the fundamentalists.”
Leah was among the over 110 students of Government Girls’ Science and Technical College (GGSTC), Dapchi abducted on February 19, 2018. She was aged fourteen at the time of her kidnapped.
However, while her schoolmates were let off and returned home after a few hours following government negotiations, Leah was denied freedom for refusing to renounce Christianity as a pre-condition for her release.
In October 2018, ISWAP then declared that Ms Sharibu and a Christian nurse, Alice Loksha Ngaddah, abducted on March 1, 2018 during an attack on Rann in Borno State, would be enslaved for life, and that it was now “lawful” for the terrorists to “do whatever we want with them.”
