answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/02/2020 answer text <p>​The UK has made repeated calls for the release of all those abducted by Boko Haram and Islamic State West Africa (ISWA), including Leah Sharibu. We are appalled by and condemn her reported enslavement, forced conversion and pregnancy. In 2018, we offered expertise to help the Nigerian Government in their search for Leah and the other schoolgirls abducted from Dapchi, Borno State. We continue to use public messaging and our engagement with the Government of Nigeria to help secure the release of Leah and all those abducted by the insurgent groups. The Government of Nigeria have assured us that they are making all efforts to secure her return.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 11/02/2020 13:25:11 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
