I Wasn’t Forced Into Islam Or Marriage, Embattled Teenager Says by Nobody: 11:02am On Oct 14, 2016
A 17-year-old Habiba Tanko who is entangled in controversy over alleged forceful conversion to Islam and marriage in Katsina has denied any such action saying, “I took all decisions in my own volition.”
Speaking before a joint committee session with officials of Katsina Emirate, Christian Association of Nigeria (NAN) Katsina chapter, and security personnel, Habiba said, “I chose on my own to become a Muslim and relocated to the emir’s palace for fear of what I might go through and the threat coming from my parents.”


Also speaking, the Kauran Katsina, Nuhu Abdulkadir, said the palace was disturbed giving several unwelcome remarks from national CAN and the parents of the girl. In his remarks, the state chairman of CAN, Very Reverend Nelson Onyekachuku, said the situation was confusing and it would need commitment from all towards resolving the issue.

Nonsense, how can She enter into marriage with An emir she never met once in her life? is that logical? where did the emir set his eyes on her? on the road or in the streets?

Her age ate fertilizer and jumped from 14 in August this year to 17 October this same year after being kidnapped from her parents home. Even in Islam, a marriage is supposed to be with the consent of the girls parents but how we go do na ? Zombies say na change

Her words are meaningless because she's yet to be an adult. She's not old enough to think for herself. How old was she when was she kidnapped
Honestly the more I look at this issue, the more it looks like there are support structures with backing from northern elites to kidnapped young christian children from their families and convert them into islam. The authorities must arrest this situation immediately before it degenerates into full blown crisis. This kind of thing should never be allowed to continue.

This girl should shut up, angry what do u know.

That emir must never be allowed to know peace until that girl is safely returned to her family and give her 12 strokes of cane.
