Recall that, on February 19,2018, Leah along with over 100 girls were forcibly abducted by Boko Haram insurgents from their hostel at the Government Girls Science Technical College, Dapchi, Yobe State.  Though her mates were later released, she was  held back for refusing to renounce her Christian faith.
