A teenage girl who was kidnapped from her school in Dapchi, Yobe State, in February 2018, Leah Sharibu, has been delivered of a baby boy, a source has told Daily Trust.
Leah was part of 110 schoolgirls of Government Girls’ Science and Technical College (GGSTC) who were kidnapped by Boko Haram insurgents at the time.
In March 2018, the Federal Government announced that the insurgents had returned 106 of the kidnapped children, including 104 girls who went to school, one girl who did not and a boy.
Leah, aged fourteen at the time of her capture, is the only remaining Dapichi schoolgirl still held hostage.
She was held back alongside a few others for refusing to convert to Islam.
It was learnt that Leah was given in marriage to a top Boko Haram commander who lives outside Nigeria.
The source told the news platform that Leah was delivered of the baby early Saturday in Niger Republic.
The insurgents, the source added, had intended to release her a few months ago but were unable to do so because she was pregnant.
