Leah Sharibu, a Christian girl kidnapped and held in Boko Haram captivity for over one year, has reportedly given birth to a baby boy.

Leah, according to Sahara Reporters, was delivered of the baby a few weeks ago following her forceful marriage to a top Boko Haram commander, according to a reliable source close to the terror group.
