Samira’s father knew he was taking a risk by allowing girls to study at his school. In their village in the north west of Nigeria, just teaching the western alphabet could get you killed. When the insurgents came for her father and he paid the ultimate price, Samira swore that she would never go to school again. But a chance meeting with a boy soldier gave her the courage to fight back.
