ABDUCTED MUSLIM CHILDREN FORCEFULLY CONVERTED TO CHRISTIANITY IN EDO IDP CAMP.

As a matter of urgency and immediate attention,
Muslim Corpers' Association of Nigeria (MCAN) use this medium to reaffirm and throw more light on the recent post of Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) about the above headline currently going viral. As a result of the Boko Haram insurgency, some Muslims were taken from different states in the Northern part of Nigeria to a CHRISTIAN CONTROLLED IDP camp in Edo State, hundreds of children were forcefully or deceitfully converted to Christianity and the worst of all is that the management of the camp denied MCAN access to the needed populace of the Camp.

As part of the humanitarian activities of the association, on the 5th of February, 2016, MCAN Edo state's Amir and
general secretary went to the Internally Displaced People's camp at Uhuagua village, Edo State to inform the camp management about the intention of MCAN to visit , conduct free medical check Up, donate items and above all, admonish the inhabitants of the camp to remain patient and hopeful in Allah (God ) as directed by MCAN National but the management of the camp which was headed by a pastor stated that they do not allow such, in fact the pastor started acting funny once he noticed MCAN is constituted by Muslims who intended to admonish those under his care.

The Edo state Amir stated that his first surprise was to have seen that it is a CHRISTIAN camp as the frontage sign board reads "INTERNATIONAL CHRISTIAN CENTRE FOR MISSION". He stated that ; they were dressed for jumat and obviously tagged as Muslims, Thus, they spent over 2 hours to be properly checked and confirmed as NYSC Corps members, though the security persons (Military) were friendly. He further stated that the head of the camp explained that the subjection to scrutiny of identity was a security measure. The Amir also stated that he was amazed that there was no single worship center in the camp for Muslims bearing in mind that there are/were Muslims among those in the camp. He gathered this fact from some young adults who were reluctant to associate with them.

After submitting an official letter of purpose as instructed by the pastor in charge, he claimed the only thing MCAN would be allowed to do was to hand over the relief items to the management of camp which will be distributed to the inhabitants of the camp on behalf of MCAN. All efforts to make the pastor understand that MCAN is a recognized body by NYSC and REGISTERED with a CERTIFICATE OF CORPORATION was to no avail. Until the pastor was informed that MCAN National visited the biggest IDP camp (Dalori Camp,Maiduguri) in Nigeria about some weeks back for the same purpose of visit to Edo camp, without any problem or prevention by The Dalori IDP camp management before he agreed to allow MCAN access the children only. Based on this a foul play was sensed.

The case was reported to the Sultan of Sokoto during a meeting and he stated that ; they (Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs - "NSCIA" are aware and they equally tried to take some of these Muslims out of the camp through the defense minister but children were manipulated or psychologically influenced to stone the military men, claiming they preferred the camp to their homes. After this, NSCIA decided to let go and left the children in the hands of Allah (God) in order to avoid religious conflict within the country. Roughly a month later , the case of #EseOruru came up to shake the whole Nigeria, this is synonymous to the issue at hand. "Abduction of Children and forcefully changing their fate". MCAN believes the children are minors , therefore , The Christian camp cannot determine what fate is best for them, just as it is in the case of #EseOruru.
MCAN noticed a lot of the Muslim inhabitants of the camp might have been deceitfully or forcefully converted to Christianity, since there is nothing to attribute themselves to in the camp as Muslims, In fact it was difficult to spot out the Muslims. These are some of the reasons why it was perceived that the pastor heading the camp intentionally prevented MCAN from gaining access to the elderly ones because their conscience can be easily preached to , unlike the children. More so , THE CHILDREN MIGHT HAVE BEEN BRAINWASHED BY THE PASTOR AND HIS STAFF TO STONE US LIKE THEY DID TO OTHERS IN THE PAST.

Knowing fully well that it was Muslims he was dealing with , the Pastor went as far as sharing pamphlets with inscription "I saw Jesus" to the MCAN representatives, this shows how far the camp management must have gone to make sure they convert all the Muslims in the camp to Christianity, leaving them with no option.

In all , we are not happy with the current state of the camp in sense that ,AN IDP CAMP SHOULD NOT BE SOLELY MANAGED BY A PARTICULAR RELIGIOUS BODY since we have TRADITIONALIST , MUSLIMS and CHRISTIANS who might be taken to such camp.

MCAN should be granted access to all the accessible inhabitants of the camp. Any act of "stone throwing" at us must have been planned and influenced by the CHRISTIAN MANAGEMENT in charge.

Islamic religious structure should be built in the camp. Else, If the camp will maintain its CHRISTIAN Name and current mode of operation, all Muslims should be evicted to a Muslim camp.

Furthermore , MCAN does its community services for the sake of Allah and not for recognition by anyone , therefore MCAN should be allowed to carry out Community Development Services in as much as its members identity and genuineness of intention can be proved beyond all reasonable doubts.

Anyone who knows or has a child or relative there should kindly meet with MCAN, MURIC or NSCIA for collective report to the rightful authorities.

On this note, we draw the attention of the presidency, Senators, media houses, human right activist , Muslims and non Muslims within and Outside Nigeria to instruct the CHRISTIAN CONTROLLED IDP CAMP in EDO STATE to release the MUSLIM children to their parents or SUPREME COUNCIL FOR ISLAMIC AFFAIRS, allow recognized religious bodies to have access to the entire populace of the camp and Preach to them just as CHRISTIANS have been doing in the camp. In fact , the idea of a religious IDP camp solely managed by a particular faith needs to be stopped.

Finally, If it were Muslims that did this , the media would have exploded long ago with comments like "MUSLIMS WANT TO ISLAMIZE NIGERIA".
This is not to trigger any problem but for the rightful to be done. LET US COME TOGETHER TO STOP THIS and #FreeTheMuslimChildrenInEdo

Na wa ooo.hope this is not in retaliation to those girls abducted and converted to Islam in the North.

Lies, half truths and assumptions. I have been to that camp, and I have spoken with the pastor in charge. There is no truth to the assertions above. Nobody was adopted, nobody was forced to practice Christianity. Even if it is a Christian camp, the children were never forced to go to church. Do you expect the church to build muslim structures and teach what they do not believe? It's a Christian camp, boldly written, sponsored by Christians. There is no way Islamic structures can be built there. Its like going to a Catholic school and expecting to find a mosque!.If the camp were government owned then there will be a basis for complaint. They were told to remove the muslim kids if they want to, but the children opted to stay because they were well taken care of, nobody brainwashed anybody. Can you compare the state of the camp to those in the north run by the government? Remember the state governor himself is a practicing Muslim.

They have to go through rigorous security checks before they are allowed into the camp. This is logical. Everyone around the camp including myself is afraid of Muslims!, afraid that the merchants of death may attack a Christian camp, the way they attack other camps in the north. So anyone wearing a hijab causes a little panic. You need to be there to feel it.

Christians are not bigots, Christianity is not a religion of piss.

I think its becoming interesting

OP are u complaining?when ur brother where forcefully kidnapping marrying and converting young u nor complain o

My person, you said it for what it is!!

Pls can MCAN tell us how many islamic institutions/Mission centers in Nigeria with Christian chapel!!!

Also where was MCAN in the heat of the terror when these people needed them most?

Pls I do not intend to hold brief for anyone but fact is -CHRISTIANITY IN HISTORY IS NEVER KNOWN TO ABDUCT AND CONVERT LIKE SOME OTHER RELIGIONS IN NIGERIA DO!!!

The ICCM(International Christian Centre for Missions) should allow the people decide where and what they want to follow and thank you for allowing Mcan see this people contrary to Christian minors that are kidnapped and kept incommunicado from the society!!!

Happy Easter

Don't you read the part that say MCAN request access to meet the Muslim children and they were denied. They also request the release of these children so that they can cater for their affairs, still they were turned down. And MCAN is a recognized and registered Islamic body. Pls forget sentiment. I have christian friend and we livepeacefully. Let's reason together and do the right thing. I won't fight and I won't abuse irrespective of any words you used to describe my religion.

On the contrary, they were allowed to take the children away, but the children declined. MCAN was denied access to the children on security grounds. But once that was cleared up they were granted access.

I already read to my fill , i saw objective comments and comments that are not worth reading. All the same , May Allah (God) rewards us all Accordingly.

The big question is ; WHY DID THE PASTOR DENIED MCAN ACCESS TO THE IDPS? if this was not the case , no problem would have emanated. MCAN would have visited the IDPs, Preached words of encouragement , donated relief materials, carryout medical service among others, just as it was done in other camps in Nigeria and left. case closed.

MCAN has carried out humanitarian services across the country where Muslims and Non muslims were beneficiaries , why should a pastor decline the offer of such organisation after affirming that MCAN is made up of serving corps members with good intention. Attached to this comment are some of the humanitarian services of MCAN in Muslim and Non Muslim Dominated state in Nigeria, therefore, why the attack.

The missionaries have done well for taking the IDPs just as other Muslim Championed organizations have done but why preventing Muslims or Muslim groups from having access to the IDPs in Edo. what the management of the edo Missionary IDP camp are perceived to have done is to take IDPs with Muslims inclusive, break them away from Muslims outside the camp and work on their psych, intelligence and faith to deceive and turn them against Islam, that is it, else , they wont prevent Muslims from having access to them. Muslims were not in support of Yunusa Yellow, ISIS, Boko Haram and so on , therefore why should anyone stand against the goodwill of MCAN and support the action of the Christians who managed Edo camp, well this could be done by sentimental people. We have to be very objective.

Another response is to the fact that Muslims are not taking responsibilities of IDPs, Say who ? Do you know how much Muslim Governors, Islamic Organizations and The Supreme council for Islamic Affairs have channelled to these IDPs ? DO you know that taking care of these IDPs alone is not enough but also Organizing programs to Prevent any form of brainwash of the poor Muslims or Christians to indulge in terrorism is another objective which Islamic organization and individuals are equally investing in. In as much as you are BLACK reading this post from any part of the world, DANGOTE IS A MUSLIM WHO IS OFFICIALLY RICHER THAN YOU and Dangote's Foundation alone can take care of these people. The Maniac called Boko Haram has caused enough Havoc to this country , of which its only ALLAH( ALMIGHTY GOD)who can judge them accordingly, Thus, the notion is not to start segregating Muslim or Christian IDPs. These people suffered from BH and the paramount thing is to think about their Spiritual, Mental and Physical wellbeing, therefore, those who can prove that they Genuinely want to support should not be prevented from having Access to the IDPs.

MCAN still stand on the ground that; if The pastor Managing Edo camp will not grant MCAN or any muslim organisation access to the IDPs, Then, they should hand over the Muslims to Supreme council for Islamic Affairs who will also put them probably in one of the estates owned by Muslims somewhere within the country or Muslims prepared centers for IDPs so that they wont be far away from GOD since there are comments inferring that the missionaries cannot build a MOSQUE in the camp.
Finally, a lot of Nigerians need to travel outside Africa to realize that Islam and Christianity are not the only religion on earth, a Substantial amount of the Citizens of England and US do not even practice Christianity yet they brought Christianity to Africa. We also have some Muslims who do opposite of what Allah(God of Abraham, Moses , David, Jesus, Muhammed (PBUT)) commanded Humans to do but Christians hastily use them to paint Islam. In the book of genesis 19......God destroyed the people of Sodom and Gomora for reasons which HOMSEXUALISM is Part , yet churches and pastors in USA and Europe Marries Gay and Lesbians , even under our nose in Africa, Bishop desmond Tutu whose daughter is a reverend got married to a lesbian at the presence of Desmond tutu Himself. is this what Christianity preached ? Did Muslims attribute homosexuals to Christianity nor did they insult Christanity for the murder of Non Christians during the Christainty crusade . Maybe you need to meet a jew before you know that Majority of jews whom jesus christ is one do not believe in jesus as a Messia. Israel has about 75% Judaist, 17% Muslims and 2% Christians, Majority of Jews believe both Christians and Muslims are wrong, yet Allah described the amount of favour he did to the Jews (saving them from Pharow, red sea, Manner e.t.c) in the Quran. Upon all these, christains will always oppose Muslims or the other way round over clear issues which we can be just with.

For those who are yet to understand the stand of MCAN, its very simple. WHY SHOULD WE BE DENIED ACESS TO THE IDPS DESPITE BEING SERVING CORPS MEMBERS WHO HAVE DONE SAME IN OTHER CAMPS. Ese Oruru is the best and most recent case to use as a synonym to the Muslim Children at hand, that was why we did.

ALLAH guide us all.

I'm really bemused mcan is making so much fuzz about all this when the islam that they preach is the only major architect of this children's misfortune today. Those children had become destitutes, by consequence of the killings by islamic terrorists, in the north, they've been left in harmsway and as such needed emergency help and rescue, everybody watched and did nothing and a christian organization came, took them in and showed them love and now all we hear is wailing from all directions, where were they all the while they needed help.

Which governor is a practising muslim? Adams Oshomole? Get ur facts right and stop displaying ignorance in public! I think the story as portrayed by d ops should be investigated! Am scared of christians! They re alws desperate to convert muslim to christianity! When I was in JSS 1 back then, I attended a catholic sch. I and other muslims were manipulated and compelled to attend church service every sunday! We were so influenced that we all became christians during d period! However, when me and my elder sister left d sch some yrs later we were already practising christians! But we were later liberated by one of our senior cousin who took time to discuss wit us, gave us books on comparative religion! Me and my sister became convinced that Islam is the way for us! ItsMeAboki what do u think!

Am not sayin that I expected them to allow me practice Islam, but they shouldn't ve compelled me to worship them! Is christianity also not guilty of forced religion!
