No information on Leah, say Police

The Police said yesterday it had no information on when Leah Sharibu would be released.

Sharibu is still being held captive by Boko Haram

The Inspector General of Police (IGP), Ibrahim Idris who was in Maiduguri on Saturday told reporters that Leah Sheribu would be released on Saturday.

But Police spokesman Jimoh Moshood in a statement yesterday said: “The attention of the Nigeria Police Force has been drawn to the publication on some Social Media platform and conventional media indicating that the Inspector General of Police said the last Dapchi school girl will be released soon.

“The Statement of the IGP was misunderstood and misquoted. The misunderstanding may be as a result of the already released Dapchi School girls expected back home in Yobe State today but could not arrive due to weather condition.

“The IGP could not also proceed to Dapchi because of same weather condition.

“The Force wishes the members of the public and the media disregard the purported statement as not what the IGP meant.

“The Force therefore reiterates that it has no information yet on the release of the last Dapchi school girl. This press release should be taken as the true position of the IGP’s statement.”
