Bitrus Bwala, a lecturer at the College of Education in
Gashua, Yobe state disclosed that Leah Sharibu is alive as he spoke from
captivity in a newly released video.
The lecturer who spoke in video shared by Ahmad Salkida (a
journalist known to have access to Boko Haram) begged President Muhammadu
Buhari and the Christian Organisation of Nigeria (CAN) to help him and the
other captives regain their freedom.
Bwala also confirmed the death of four out of five abducted
aid workers of Action Against Hunger (AAH) who were recently killed by the
insurgents.
He said;
“I am a principal lecturer with College of Education,
Gashua, Yobe state. I was on my way to my station on the 27th of November 2019
that I was abducted.
“I appeal to the federal government to come to our aid. As
you can see behind me are fellow Christians who were arrested on various
points. I equally appeal to Christian association to do whatever is within
their reach in order to rescue us because when we came, we saw some workers
here, particularly workers with food organisation, however, shortly, they were
executed.
“We also saw that the government has not done enough that is
why Leah Sharibu is still with this group. We, therefore, appeal to President
Muhammadu Buhari.”
