200 days after Leah Sharibu's abduction, Omokri leads protest in London

Former Special Assistant to ex-president Goodluck Jonathan, Reno Omokri, on Thursday led a protest at Nigeria’s High Commission in London, to demand the release of Leah Sharibu.

Leah, a Christian, was one of the schoolgirls kidnapped in Dapchi, Yobe State, by Boko Haram, but she was held back when others were released because she refused to renounce her faith and convert to Islam.

Thursday marks the 200th day since she was abduct.

Speaking in London, Omokri encouraged the Nigerian government to negotiate her release.

Noting that the insurgent group had released an audio to show that she is alive, he urged President Muhammadu Buhari not to use the kidnap of Leah to score cheap political points.

“President Muhammadu Buhari, you should do everything..." he said.
