Femi Adesina, Special Adviser to the President on Media and
Publicity, has stated that only God knows when Leah Sharibu, the kidnapped
Dapchi girl, will be rescued.
Adesina said this on Tuesday during an appearance on Channels
Television‘s breakfast show Sunrise Daily following a picture and audio of the
teenager, who was kidnapped in February, begging the government for help.
When asked to give a time-frame for Sharibu’s rescue, Adesina
said God is the sole determinant of her return.
“When will she be back? That question can only be answered by
God, but I believe that God is interested in that young girl,” he said.
“The Government is working on and at it, and we believe she
will be back.
“I think when that clip that we have is verified, at least
one will be sure that it’s her and when that is determined, we should all be
glad that she is alive.
“One thing we should always remember, as Nigerians, is that
early in the life of this administration, then it was Chibok girls, the
president said that whatever it will take to get the girls back including
paying, he would do. It’s on record.
“That is not confirming that there was payment on Dapchi
because the then DG of DSS was categorical the day the girls were brought back
and it was in public glare that no a dime was paid for Dapchi girls. On Dapchi,
there was no payment,” he said.
