“Only God can determine when Leah Sharibu will regain freedom” – Femi Adesina

President Buhari’s spokesperson Femi Adesina has said the government has no idea when Leah Sharibu will regain freedom.

Sharibu, on Monday, called out to the Federal Government to help her return to her parents. She has been in Boko Haram’s captivity since February.

Adesina told Channels TV on Tuesday that only God knows when the Dapchi girl will be rescued.

“For how much longer, I think that question can only be answered by God. I believe that God is interested in that young girl and will ensure that she is preserved,” Adesina responded to a question on when Sharibu would return home.

“I think when that clip that we have is verified, at least one will be sure that it’s her and when that is determined, we should all be glad that she is alive.

“When will she return? By the grace of God, the government is working on it and we believe she will be back.”

He said President Buhari was committed to rescuing all kidnapped persons, even if it requires paying a ransom.

“That is not confirming that there was payment on Dapchi because the then DG of DSS was categorical the day the girls were brought back and it was in public glare that no a dime was paid for Dapchi girls. On Dapchi, there was no payment,” he said.

Adesina further said reaching out to the Sharibu family is not “a presidency matter”.

“I expect that the Yobe state government is doing that. In Nigeria, they expect the presidency to do everything,” he added.
