Boko Haram Hypnotise Leah Sharibu Into Marriage
- Abduct UniMaid Female Student
Disturbing signals have emerged that Ms Leah Sharibu, who has been in the Boko Haram terrorists’ captivity since 2018, was enticed and hypnotised into marrying one of the insurgents’ commanders.
Also, intelligence sources confirmed that the 100-level student of Zoology of the University of Maiduguri (UniMaid) Borno State, Miss Lillian Daniel Gyang, abducted alongside others two weeks ago, is still in the custody of deadly terrorists.
Insider sources revealed that contrary to reports in the public space, Leah Sharibu, was not forced into marriage but only yielded to marriage proposal by her abductors under very unusual circumstances.
According to PRNigeria, efforts are being made by relevant agencies and stakeholders towards the safe release of the captives to the family.
Gyang, the 20-year-old female student hails from Barkin Ladi Local Government Area (LGA), of Plateau State. She is of Berom ethnic nationality and was abducted on January 9, 2020, on her way to Maiduguri alongside Mr. Ropvil Dalep, a Biology student at UNIMAID, who was later killed in a video released by Boko Haram.
Both undergraduates, were returning to UNIMAID after the Christmas and New Year holidays.
There are strong indications that security services and negotiators were already aware since last year that Leah Sharibu was impregnated by one of the leaders of Boko terrorists but kept the circumstance secret as they assiduously worked towards her safe release from the custody.
An intelligence source reliably hinted that Leah, who has been in the custody of the dare-devil insurgents since February 2018, was not forcefully converted to a sex slave but wooed by one of top Boko Haram members.
Leah, the sole Christian among the initially abducted 110 students of Government Girls’ Science and Technical College Dapchi, Yobe State, was ‘hypnotized’ by the ‘warm reception’ and ‘friendly manner’ she was been treated by the BH members who kept her in hostage.
The source said: “The insurgents and their commanders have since devised a clever, deceptive and persuasive way to entice and woo girls and women whom they love and separate them from those confined to forced labour and sex-slavery after their abduction.
“Leah Sharibu was not coaxed or forced to renounce her faith. According to the information, we gathered she willingly accepted the man and converted. She was not raped serially by anyone but willingly submitted herself to one of the insurgents through enticement.”
