Unidentified thieves have reportedly invaded the family home of Leah
Sharibu in Jos, Plateau State, carting away a generator and foodstuff.
The
incident happened barely 72 hours after the Arewa Christians and
Indigenous Pastors Association, ACIPA, awarded the Sharibu family.
Speaking with THE PUNCH on Tuesday night in Jos, President of ACIPA, Luke Shehu, confirmed the incident
He said, “I just spoke to Mrs Rebecca Sharibu, mother of Leah Sharibu. I told her to tell me exactly what happened because THE PUNCH wants
to get the truth. She told me that the people who came to their house
were not armed robbers but thieves. I asked her when? She said yesterday
(Monday). She said the thieves entered through the fence.
“The
picture on the programme of the event for the award is the picture of
the house. It is a make-shift fence, which anybody can climb easily. Mrs
Sharibu said the thieves entered through the window and then stole
their generator and also carted away foodstuffs inside the house. She
said they were not armed robbers.
“I told her that she should give
the real picture for the world to know the circumstances from a true
perspective. Honestly, that was what connected me to them and that was
exactly what she told me.
“Once again, the incident happened
yesterday (Monday), the thieves climbed the fence, entered through the
window, stole their foodstuffs and a generator. They were not robbers
but thieves and the family members were not in the house when the
thieves visited.”
Leah Sharibu is one of the 110 students of Government Girls’ Science
and Technical College, Dapchi, Yobe State, who were abducted by Boko
Haram on February 19, 2018.
While most of her mates regained freedom Leah was held back by the terrorists for refusing to renounce her Christian faith.
