In an audio recording revealed on 27 August, kidnapped Christian schoolgirl Leah Sharibu appealed to the government of Nigeria to win her release from Islamic extremist group Boko Haram.
Boko Haram released more than 100 schoolgirls about four weeks after kidnapping them in February, but held Leah, 15, because she refused to convert to Islam.
In the audio recording obtained by a journalist for Nigerian online news outlet The Cable, Leah said in her native Hausa that she wants the government and ‘people of goodwill’ to rescue her.
