Fed Govt doing everything to get Leah Sharibu freed, says minister (Nation)

Minister of Information Lai Mohammed said yesterday that the Federal Government is doing everything to get Leah Sharibu freed.

He, however, said the negotiation for her release from the Boko Haram is becoming tortuous.

The terrorists abducted 111 girls from the Government Girls Technical College, Dapchi, Yobe State on February.
