I cried throughout that night and pray that God should make it a reality”.On whether she would allow Leah to continue in the school, Rebecca said, “She rather stay out of school than returning to GGSTC Dapchi. I already transferred her brother to a school in Jos. She is the only one I am waiting for now”.
