Adeboye calls for release of Leah Sharibu
Meanwhile, Legit.ng reported that the RCCG general overseer called for the release of Leah Sharibu.
Sharibu, a Christian schoolgirl aged 14 years at the time of her capture, is the only remaining Dapchi schoolgirl still held hostage after the Boko Haram terrorists' invasion of Dapchi girls college in Yobe state in 2018.
She was reported to have refused to renounce her faith when her abductors tried to forcibly convert her to Islam.
