As
President Muhammadu Buhari, the commander-in-chief of the Nigerian Armed
Forces, moves from one state to another, campaigning for a second term despite
nearly four years in office which has been widely adjudged a horrendous
failure, a 15-year old, tender, innocent girl called Leah Sharibu remains a
hapless, pathetic, traumatized captive of Boko Haram, obviously, under the most
dehumanising conditions.
Given what has, reportedly, been the horrible
experiences of young, beautiful girls like her who have been captured by these
terrorists, one is really scared to imagine what Leah might have been subjected
to for nearly one year now. Most painful is that she hardly gets mentioned
again these days by those whose job it is to rescue and bring her home!
