Onyeka Onwenu in tears; Pleads for Leah Sharibu's release
Veteran Nigerian singer, Onyeka Onwenu, has appealed to President Muhammadu Buhari to hasten the release of the last Dapchi girl, Leah Sharibu.

The singer made the passionate appeal in a 3-minute-clip shared by a senator, Ben Murray Bruce, on Facebook on Wednesday.

Onyeka broke down in tears in the video reminding the world that the 15-year-old remains in captivity despite the release of her non-Christian colleagues.

She further implored the president to look to Thailand’s recent cave rescue as an inspiration.
Miss Sharibu was one of the 110 girls abducted by Boko Haram from Dapchi Government Science and Technical School, Yobe State, on February 21.

About 33 days after their abduction, the sect released 104 of the girls. Five were said to have died while Miss Sharibu is reported as being held back because she refused to denounce her Christian religion.
