Interviewer: How many have been released?
Sharibu: All of them were released. They said some were dead there and my daughter is alive but they said she is a Christian and that is why they cannot release her. They said if she wants to be released until she converts and become a Muslim and she said she will never become a Muslim.

Interviewer: So what’s the mood in Dapchi now, I guess jubilation?
Sharibu: Yes, jubilation but only my side, I am very sad but I am also jubilating too because my daughter did not denounce Christ.
Interviewer: What is the name of your daughter?
Sharibu: Her name is Leah Sharibu
Interviewer: And you were told because she refused to become a Muslim that’s why they refuse to release her?
