A kidnapped Nigerian teenager who refuses to renounce Christianity has been described as a ‘living martyr’.
Leah Sharibu was among 105 girls kidnapped by Islamic militants almost two years ago.
Since then, all of the girls except Leah have been let go.
The terrorist organisation won’t release her because she refused their demands to renounce her Christian faith and convert to Islam.
Edward Clancy of Aid to the Church in Need has described Leah’s faith in Christ as ‘amazing’.
He told Crux the word martyr is Greek for ‘witness’ and one who witnesses like Leah is a ‘living martyr’.
