The UK repeatedly calls for the release of all those abducted by Boko Haram and IS-West Africa including Leah Sharibu. We continue to use our public messaging and extensive engagement with the Government of Nigeria to secure their urgent release. The Government of Nigeria have assured us that they are making all efforts to secure her return.
