AP - Nigerian police: Boko Haram to free 1 more kidnapped girl
The AP reports: "Islamic extremists who abducted 111 girls last month in Nigeria’s northern village of Dapchi are releasing one more girl, Nigeria’s police chief said Saturday. Leah Sharibu, 15, was held back on Wednesday when 105 of her classmates were freed by Boko Haram extremists after negotiations. She remained a prisoner because she is Christian and refused to convert to Islam, her mother said. [...] It wasn’t clear when she would be released. [...] The Dapchi school kidnappings are thought to have been carried out by a Boko Haram splinter group aligned with the Islamic State group."

Comment: Please join me in praying for the release of Leah Sharibu, a 15 year-old girl held by the Boko Haram militants.
