GLORIA Puldu, the president and CEO of Leah Foundation, shared updates on the status of Leah Sharibu, a Nigerian schoolgirl abducted by Boko Haram six years ago.
In an interview with Arise TV, Gloria Puldu stated that despite not having seen Leah Sharibu physically since her abduction, they have received updates about her from other girls who escaped captivity. She said some of the girls confirmed that Leah now has babies and they described her location.
Puldu emphasized that information about Leah’s location and her condition has been shared with the international community and Nigerian authorities. She also expressed frustration and questioned how ordinary individuals could obtain this information while authorities claimed ignorance.
In Puldu’s words: “[Girls who escaped] said Leah has babies and they described where she is and we have updated whoever wants to hear: the international community or the Nigeria authority.
“If we at our level as ordinary people can get this information, how can they tell me they don’t know where Leah is or they can’t bring out Leah?
“So Leah is alive, and so far from 2023 till now, unfortunately for us, we have not had anybody tell us that they have met her. But before 2023 up to 2022 we have people who have come out, who were in the same camp with Leah and told us she is alive”.
