See as the authorities acted swiftly?, but if it was a Christian girl that was abducted and forcefully converted to islam they'll not know what to do

Simple . As the DSS officer is jailed, so shall it be for the Deborah and Leah incidents.

BlackViper:
As happened in the case of Ese Oruru, Justice must be done and this criminal must be made to face the full wrath of the law.

There must also be justice for Deborah Samuel and Leah Sharibu.

He ll rot in jail

We don't force conversion

See them doing damage control up there. If it was the other way around, we won’t hear the last of it. Keep deceiving yourselves and hating your own brothers over religions given to you by whites and Arabs who don’t care about your existence.

NONSENSE,


LET THEM GO AND DETAIN THE KIDNAPPERS, RAPIST AND FORCED CONVERSION IN THE NORTH OF SOUTHERN CHRISTIAN SCHOOL GIRLS.

Why was the girl forced? Our religion is not by force but by will.

These people just find another narrative. Christians don't force conversion. They are mad.

I do not support rape but the northern community and constitution supports catch them young nah
Believe this at your peril this is one of the propagandas to make the world and Donald Trump believe that Muslims are also percecuted

i dont even believe the lies about forceful conversion stories. The girl probably converted to Christianity as a result of her relationship with the man and those against it are angry hence the allegations

Child Kidnap, Rape, imprisonment, Forced Islamisation/marriage by Sharia Court

In 1999, Twelve Nigeria's states that have Sunni Islam as the dominant religion chose to have Sharia courts as well as Customary courts.[2]
The following states that have instituted Sharia are: Zamfara State (January 27, 2000), Kano State (June 21, 2000), Sokoto State, Katsina State, Bauchi State (June 2001), Borno State, Jigawa State, Kebbi State, Yobe State, Kaduna State, Niger State (May 4, 2000), and Gombe State.

[size=14pt] Jurisdictional errors[/size]

The institution of Sharia as a main body of civil and criminal law violates the Constitution of Nigeria.


The Sharia Court of Appeals recognized as a federal court of appeals (the Unified Courts System), is the most controversial of the judicial system. The Sharia Court of Appeals reviews cases involving Sharia law, particularly in the North and Northeast regions of the country.

However, this has caused controversy because while the Sharia Court of Appeals interprets and reviews cases relating to Islamic law, they must also interpret the common and customary laws of the other regions of Nigeria.

In doing so, the Sharia Court exceeds its jurisdiction under the constitutional law which give federal and state governments various powers. It undermines the principles of separation of powers and the two level federal system of government in which an overarching national government governs issues that affect the entire country, and smaller subdivisions govern issues of local concern.


The Sharia Court going outside state powers and local confines is striking down federal law, on the grounds that it exceeded the Constitutional authority of National Assembly.

Rita Chinedu Ukeje V Sharia

Madam Jessy Ukeje, a 77-year-old grandmother from Eluoma Uzuakoli in Bende Local government area of Abia State, is in pains her granddaughter was given out in marriage by a top official of Zaria City Local Government area, without the consent of her family.Rita, an SS 3 student of Top Spring Secondary School, Zaria, Kaduna State, was abducted by a commercial bus driver, called Usman, who held her captive in his home, denying her the chance of sitting for the Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE) she had enrolled for.

Few weeks later, she stated, the council chief, who took her to his home and promised to make her available for settlement with the family, allegedly gave her out in marriage to Usman. The incident happened in Damagaji area of Zaria in Kaduna State, even as every effort made by the family to rescue the teenage girl from the clutches of her abductors have met with stiff resistance from the kidnappers. They took her into captivity after undergoing their Muslim rituals of bathing and feeding her with concoction as a way of turning her into a Muslim.

Then, they gave her to somebody to marry without the consent and knowledge of her parents. This is certainly against religion and against tradition

Mama Jessy, who could not hold back tears while narrating the abduction of the girl in her house in Eluoma Uzuakoli, alleged further that the girl’s abductors are after Rita’s mother, Joy Ihedinma Ukeje, for insisting that Rita must be sent back to her. She alleged that they had been sending assassins to her, forcing her to quickly run back to Uzuakoli from Zaria after several attempts on her life.

Blasphemy and apostasy
A Sharia court may treat blasphemy as deserving of several punishments up to, and including, execution. In many predominantly Muslim states, conversion from Islam to another religion is illegal and often a capital offence.

In 2014 a Nigerian man, Mubarak Bala was forcibly committed to a psychiatric institution in Kano for eighteen days, where he was forcibly drugged after stating that he was an atheist. The International Humanist and Ethical Union took up the case, stating that Bala's human rights were violated.


Riots
There have been numerous riots over the implementation of sharia law, primarily involving non-Muslim minorities in the states which implemented the system. One such riot killed over 100 people in October 2001 in Kano State.


Executions

In 2002, the first execution of a man under Sharia took place in Katsina State; Human Rights Watch condemned the execution.



[size=14pt]The Supreme Court Solution via Judicial Review [/size]

The Supreme Court uphold and declared Sharia Court to be ultra vires in a narrow or broad sense. Narrow ultra vires applies if an administrator did not have the substantive power to make a decision or it was wrought with procedural defects.

Broad ultra vires applies if there is an abuse of power (e.g.,unreasonableness or bad faith) or a failure to exercise an administrative discretion (e.g., acting at the behest of another or unlawfully applying a sectional policy) or application of discretionary powers in irrational and wrong way.[5] Either doctrine may entitle a claimant to various prerogative writs, equitable remedies or statutory orders if they are satisfied.

Kidnap is a very serious offence and when it is done for sexual gratification, it is a heinous crime. The Sharia court is a form of customary court to the North. In that sense, it has no jurisdiction to hear cases of people not part of that culture. It is like a Igbo customary court hearing the case of a Yoruba, claiming they have converted to Igbo.

Custom refers to origin and ancestral linage, if a person does not have their roots in islam then Sharia court has no grounds to hold or hear the case. The Sharia system was introduced for people who customarily have followed the religion of islam.

It is illegal and unconstitutional to steal peoples child and claim forced conversion to islam, as a bases to Ra.pe and forced marriage/ conversion to islam, without any form of consent. Whilst handing out death sentence to Muslim that desire to convert to Christianity freely without abduction or coercion.


Why drag us Christian southerners into uncivilised and criminal customs? Why are u stealing our children and raping them? Is sharing a country a crime? Can u not face and marry your muslim children?

.
He should be jailed.
Non Muslims shouldn't be doing such.

When you spend too much time with maggots, you start behaving like one.
.

Good work from the DSS..

The outcome of their investigation should be made public.

In the case of rape, I might believe, but forceful conversion to Christianity , that's a blatant lie. But again, let just assumed this is true, so security operative can act swiftly, but if this was a case of a Christian girl being raped and forcefully converted to Islam, you won't see them acting so fast, in fact they won't act at all. Till today we haven't heard about Leah Sharibu and other vulnerable underage Christians girls that those savage demons up north prey on. God punish Nigeria.

1.2.3 Go
Obidients oya come and defend the undefendable.

Theby will say he was witch-hunted. Remember how they defended a christian terrorist that was jailed in Kaduna.

People should be having a sense of justice. We all have sentiments but it must never override our sense of justice especially in some cases like grape and kpaing.

This is utterly shocking and disturbing. An officer, sworn to protect, abusing his power to commit rape and force someone to abandon her faith is beyond reprehensible. Justice must be swift and uncompromising, and such abuse of authority should never go unpunished.

Even on this one again...
You guys are still blaming Islam and the Muslims.
Are you guys not tired if these propaganda against Islam as Religion? The Religion keep growing despite all these propagandas. Now on this I expected U all to condemn his actions but no, U still want to find a way to put on the Muslims... You guys are still playing victims

They didn't act swiftly. Tehy had to be pressed on the media for days.

In fact, that still isn't an assurance of justice because they might meet a sentimental judge in court. Nigerian Christians are difficult to trust.

They even publish it , bandit and Boko haram have turns this to everyday things and it's not even getting in New

The responses above must have gaslights from the people that know their rights.

CAN and Christian organisations should be more vocal, the way muric and co are always defending their people, CAN should defend its people, do your job properly. Take people to court, take other measures like peaceful protests, etc...CAN is not defending it's flock.

That line of thinking is dangerous and dismissive. No one should have their consent ignored or be manipulated in matters of faith or intimacy. Even if a relationship influenced her choices, framing it as “lies” ignores the power imbalance and the very real trauma she may have suffered. Allegations like this deserve careful investigation, not assumptions that shift blame onto the victim.
