The latest video just released says Boko Haram is still holding Leah Sharibu in the first indication by the terrorist group that she is still alive. The lecturer whom we reported last week was recently captured discloses this in the new video in which he is the spokesperson.
.
This contradicts the video released in July which claimed Leah had been executed.
.
At the time we issued the following: “US NIGERIA LAW GROUP’S FORENSIC ANALYSIS ON PURPORTED EXECUTION OF HEROINE CHRISTIAN SCHOOLGIRL LEAH
.
A proof of life video released last night of aid workers abducted last week contains the unsettling report that heroine Christian Schoolgirl Leah Sharibu has been killed.
.
Below is our forensic analysis of the said claim:
The video appears to have been released through the recognized conduit of the terror group
However the video does not contain the watermark signature bearing the emblem of the terror group’s flag
The video does not contain the usual Islamic songs used by the terrorists
The video does not contain any remarks, input or demand whatsoever from the terrorists themselves. Without clear identification of the abductors in a muddled field of contenders, ransom negotiations can be confusing.
The hostage speaker Grace is reportedly one of the recently captured aid workers in an attack on July 18 less than a week to the video recording. She would likely not have any knowledge of or interaction with Leah Sharibu within the space of just six days.
The hostage speaker Grace narrated that two Red Cross workers Hauwa and Zipporah were abducted and then killed. There was no hostage named Zipporah executed by the terrorists.
The hostage speaker Grace said they were held by the “army of Calipha.” This does not easily identify whether it is the terrorist splinter group now known as Islamic State West Afric
