To mark the fourth anniversary of the abduction of Leah Sharibu by Boko Haram terrorists from Government Girls’ Science and Technical College in Dapchi, Yobe State, northeast Nigeria, on February 19, 2018, the promoter of the #FreeLeahSharibu Movement, Reno Omokri, releases a single titled, Angels on Guard: A Song for Leah.
Written by acclaimed music diva, broadcaster and actress, Onyeka Onwenu, the song is performed by Onyeka and features foremost gospel singer, Panam Percy Paul; Leah’s father, Nathan Sharibu, and Omokri.
The song is executive produced by Omokri and is intended to draw global attention to Leah Sharibu’s plight and continued stay in captivity.
She was abducted alongside 109 other students of the school, aged 11 to 19, by the radical Islamist group exactly four years ago.
But while 104 surviving students of the school were released a few weeks later, Leah, who was 14 years old at the time, remained in captivity for refusing to reject Christianity and convert to Islam. Sadly, five of the schoolgirls died on the day of their abduction.
Now, joining us to discuss the fourth anniversary of her abduction and his unrelenting drive for her release, is Reno Omokri, a lawyer, rights activist, and former aide to President Goodluck Jonathan.
