Atiku, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, made the call via his Twitter handle.
The Adamawa-born politician was reacting to the killing of an aid worker, Hauwa Leman by the terrorist organisation.
He said, “I’m deeply saddened by the murder of Hauwa Leman, an ICRC aid worker, by terrorists.
“I implore the Federal Government to deploy every reasonable tool at its disposal to bring Leah Shuaibu and all the children in Boko Haram captivity home.”
Arewa. Ng had earlier reported that the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP), a faction of Boko Haram, had stated that they executed Hauwa Leman, an aid worker with the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), because she was considered an Murtad (apostate).
The terrorists also promised to keep Leah Sharibu, one of the Dapchi schoolgirls who is currently in their custody, as “a slave for life.”
