**FROM 23RD MARCH TO 30TH APRIL 2020, 6 CHRISTIAN GIRLS AND 1 MARRIED WOMAN HAVE BEEN ABDUCTED, FORCEFULLY ISLAMIZED AND ILLEGALLY MARRIED OFF IN 3 STATES OF NORTHERN NIGERIA.**

Greetings of Grace to and may God’s peace and love be multiplied unto you in Christ Jesus. Amen!

We are saddened to report to you the battles we have been fighting even amidst the lockdown. The Hausa Christians Foundation (HACFO) has been working on the following tragic incidences of abduction and forceful Islamization, despite the fact that the lockdown has limited our efforts:
a) 5 Christian Girls abducted and Islamized in Kaduna State, two rescued and two still in captivity.
b) 1 Girl abducted and Islamized in Kano State
c) 1 Married woman a mother of two was abducted in Katsina State, her Christian marriage nullified by the Muslims and is now Islamized and about to be married to a Muslim.

The Hausa Christians Foundation (HACFO) has been working for the release of these 6 Hausa Christian Girls and One Married woman even amidst the Covid-19 Pandemic Lockdown. We have been putting so much effort but having very little results. We are grateful to God that 2 of the 6 girls have been rescued, but our heart aches for the remaining 4 girls and the 1 married woman knowing fully well that their lives will be in danger. The usual practice is that these girls will be forced into marriage and perpetually be abused sexually, physical and emotionally.

We are doing our best to rescue these precious lives but our efforts have been truncated by the current government imposed lockdown that has put everything on hold.

We sincerely covet your prayers, supports and partnership as we trust God alone for the return of these precious lives. One cannot imagine the trauma the families of these girls have been passing through right now.

The simple reason for the injustice and the persecution we have been subjected to in Northern Nigeria especially the Hausa Land is because of our faith in Christ Jesus. But no matter the persecution Christ remains our best choice and nothing shall separate us from Christ, not even taking our lives.

As for us, We are proud to be Hausas and Christians and we are proud to be called the Children of the Most High God, Yahweh and there is nothing the devil can do about it.

**PLEASE SHARE WITH OTHERS AS YOU PRAY FOR THE FAMILIES OF THESE PRECIOUS LIVES!**
