On the 19th of February this year more than a hundred girls
were kidnapped from the Government Girls Science and Technology College ,
Dapchi in Yobe state by a faction of the dreaded Boko Haram.
Five weeks later 105 girls were released, 5
had died in captivity and one girl was held back. The name of the girl held back is Leah
Sharibu, only 14 years old at the time, and her captors refused to release her
because she refused to convert to Islam.
