The plea video from Grace Taku, the aid worker abducted by
Boko Haram terrorists on July 18, raises fear of Leah Sharibu being killed by
the insurgents.
According to Grace in the video, the inability of the
Nigerian Government to “do something” led to the death of Leah Sharibu abducted
alongside her 109 schoolmates at Government Science and Technical College,
Dapchi, Yobe State.
The aid worker made claims of the Christian schoolgirl being
killed in a new video released by the insurgents on Wednesday.
She said “My name is Grace, I work with Action Against
Hunger, an NGO in Borno State; my base is Damasak. We went to work on Thursday,
18th July 2019. On our way going Back to Damasak by Keneri/Chamba ward, we were
caught by an army called the Kaliphas and they brought us here. We don’t know
where we are.
“I want to beg the Christian Association of Nigeria because
I am the only Christian among the six of us here. I want to beg that CAN should
please do something about me to see how I can be released. I call on Borno
State.
“I beg Action Against Hunger. We have families, some of us
have children. We are Nigerians who are working for Nigerians. I am begging
please, I am begging again, please do something to see that we are released
because this has happened in the Red Cross before where some ladies were
caught, Hauwa and Zipporah. They also asked to be released but because of
Nigeria did not do anything about it, they were killed.
“I am begging on behalf of all of us. I don’t want such to
happen to us and it also happened again with Leah and Alice, because Nigeria
could not do anything about them, they were not released they were also
killed.”
