And you think hateful comments will change anything? Did the comments stop pastors from raping girls or inserting red candle into young girls private parts.

Why do you like defending abductors and rapists so much ?
Is it because you are a muslim.

A news talk about abducted girls being rescued and all you could say is one
pastor did this or that.

Just tell me how many people have come out to defend such act
just as you are doing for your brothers in faith?


I won't be surprised if you happen to be an abductor in real life.

SMH

Thank you

Lilimax:

I criticize whatever i find to be appalling irrespective of religion however this issues of abduction Christian girls are unbecoming and should be nipped in the bud.
Seems that the perpetrators are acting an already written scripts

There are more cases of pastors raping young girls than the cases of 'abduction of Christian girls'. How do we nip the rape cases of Pastors in the bud.

olapluto:


Why are pastors forcefully raping girls all over the country?

Do you want me to also show you how many imam that rape there Islamiya students in my area without taking the case to the police?
Just that muslims knows how to cover stories that involves there there religion

joseph1832:
Can you show me one write up by omenka where he so defended this despicable act?

Didn't you see that useless topic on front page??... Scroll down and you'll see. It's a tacit support for this dastardly act by muslims.

Binb:
This is Propaganda and misinformation by Punch. Why is it difficult to believe that those girls willingly converted to Islam?
Posers for all:
how possible is it to forcefully convert someone to Islam? How do you force somebody to pray five times a day? How do you force someone to fast the month of Ramadan?

In the interest of fairness and balanced reporting the girls should have been interviewed so that we can hear from them

At gunpoint. threatening to kill their families and on and on. stop being a frog.

olapluto:

And you think hateful comments will change anything? Did the comments stop pastors from raping girls or inserting red candle into young girls private parts.

Of course hateful comments did not stop pastors from raping girls and burning them. But I'll have you know that most christians will never support those pastors who do such things.

I want to ask you why the Sultan of Sokoto and his cronies haven't come out to condemn this stupid act, instead, they keep mute and pretend as if nothing is happening, just like they did with Boko Haram until things got out of hand.

You know how many Alfa and imam they rape and fvck innocent girls for here you will not even open your mouth to talk....mtcheeeew

Since the Pastors are raping the girls. The muslims should abduct them,convert them by force,then turn them to sex slaves abi?

sniperr007:


Its a shame dat Muslim clerics/traditional rulers Neva cum out to criticize dis evil action in name of religion.

Actions like dis cause more division Dan IPOB. Laws ve to b creates to checkmate tins like dis.

Operatives of the Nigeria Police Force have rescued three teenage girls, who were abducted in Bauchi State and forcefully converted to Islam.

The Prison Inmate Development Initiative, a non-governmental organisation, handling the matter, told one of our correspondents that the girls were handed over to the Assistant Inspector-General of Police, Zone 12, Bauchi, Mr. Tunde Ogunsakin, on Tuesday, by the Shari’ah Commission in the state.

SUNDAY PUNCH had reported on March 6, 2016, that Blessing Gopep, 13, was abducted by two men identified as Iliya and Umaru, both living in Alkaleri, Bauchi State.

Blessing and her friend, Mary, were on their way back to Jos after spending their holidays with Blessing’s uncle in Bauchi in August, 2015.

Her father had said Blessing and Mary had gone to the Alkaleri motor park, and while they waited on the bus for other passengers, two men, identified as Iliya and Umaru, arrived at the park on a motorcycle and abducted Blessing.

On November 19, Linda Christopher was abducted by one Mallam Shagari in Tarsha Durumi village, while Progress Jacob, 13, was abducted by Mallam Musa in the Yelwa, Sabon Kaura area, both in Bauchi State, on her way back from church on January 3.

According to Ms. Gobet, Progress’ aunt, the teenager went to church on the morning of January 3, 2016 and did not return when the church was presumed to have closed at about 10.30am.

She was allegedly abducted in the Yelwa, Sabon Kaura Area of Bauchi State by one Mallam Musa on her way back from church, which is said to be a few metres away from her aunt’s residence.

The distressed aunt said she reported the case to the traditional ruler (Seriki) of Sabon Kaura as well as the Yelwa Police Station, which only took her statement and directed her to inform them when she found Progress.

She added that all efforts to locate the ‘missing’ girl proved abortive until a letter was delivered to her from the Bauchi State Shari’ah Commission, informing her of Progress’ conversion to Islam.

Sixteen-year-old Linda, a secondary school pupil in Enugu, was seen with one Mallam Shagari at Tarsha Durumi village in Bauchi State on November 19, 2015.

It was learnt that Linda had left Enugu four days earlier to join her parents, who lived in the Katanga Giwa village of Bauchi.

Her parents were notified of her whereabouts by a kinsman, who knew the family.

Just like the Jacobs, her parents got a letter from the Shari’a commission, notifying them of their daughter’s custody and her conversion to Islam.

SUNDAY PUNCH had reported the failure of the Inspector-General of Police, Mr. Solomon Arase, to rescue the girls one week after the newspaper had reported the abduction.

The Commissioner of Police, Bauchi State Police Command, Mr. Baba Tijjani, confirmed the release of the girls in an interview with The PUNCH on Tuesday.

Tijjani stated, “The girls have been released. They were not held by the Bauchi State Shari’ah Commission; they volunteered to become Muslims on their own and reported themselves to the Da’awah & Islamic Education Department, which took them to the Bauchi State Shari’ah Commission.

“Now, they have been produced. Progress Jacob and Linda Christopher have been released to their parents while Blessing Gopep’s parents have been told to come tomorrow (Wednesday) and they will go home with their daughter.”

When asked if the case would be treated as a criminal case and the culprits prosecuted, the police commissioner said, “We just released the girls to their parents. The investigations are still ongoing and we will come out with the details after the investigations.”

The Executive Director, PIDI, Mr. Mbami Sabka, who also confirmed the rescue to The PUNCH on the telephone on Tuesday, said he was glad that effort to rescue the girls was not wasted.

He added that this was the beginning of the release of more child brides.

Sabka said, “I am extremely grateful to PUNCH newspapers for their help. We hope that other perpetrators would learn from this. We, as an NGO, won’t stop at this; we will continue the fight for the release of child brides. An end must be put to this illegal act.

“The police have asked the Shari’ah Commission to bring the abductors involved because the girls didn’t walk to the commission by themselves; someone brought them.”

Blessing’s father, who couldn’t contain his excitement while speaking on the telephone, said he was very happy to have his daughter back.

He said, “I have waited so long for this day to come; it has been my only wish. I just want to thank God for bringing my daughter back to us. I am extremely happy; words fail me to express myself. I also want to thank PUNCH newspapers for their help.”

Blessing’s sister, Happiness, said since receiving the news, she had been restless.

“I’m boarding a bus first thing tomorrow to Bauchi. I can’t wait to see my sister,” she stated.

Jacob, who is Progress’ father, stated that he was happy to see his daughter again.

He thanked everyone that helped in his daughter’s release.

He added, “I have informed everyone in the village about her release; they are all expecting us. We are with the Commissioner of Police in Bauchi State. My daughter, Progress, is fine but we are a bit worried about her condition.

“She was asked to identify us as her parents and she did so by pointing at us but she did not speak to us. She only shook her head or nodded to questions.

She confirmed she was not sexually molested by anyone. The commissioner said she would be released to us when the medical examination has been concluded.”

Linda’s mother, Mrs. Onah, added, “She looks fine but we have not spoken to each other yet, although we sat together today. We were told the girls were released because they were not up to 18 years old and could not make decisions on their own.

“They are undergoing medical examinations as we speak and we heard the results will be released after three days. I am happy to see my daughter again.”

PIDI had written letters to the state Commissioner of Police and the National Human Rights Commission but got no response before taking the cases to Amnesty International.

SUNDAY PUNCH’s campaign on the abduction of 14-year-old Ese Oruru from Bayelsa State on February 28 had led to her release within 48 hours from her captivity in the Tofa area of Kano State.

The #FreeEse campaign, launched by PUNCH, had led to Ese’s release and return to Yenagoa, while her abductor, Yunusa Dahiru, aka Yellow, is currently facing trial in the Bayelsa State capital.

correctyourself:
Nigeria Government should wake-up and treat these people as a criminal because they share the same ideal with that of chibok gils, if something is not done a time would come when a south-south man will not want to see any hausa muslim in his village/community for fear of abduction.

Also, the activities of this shariah commission should be looked into to ascertain if it believe/understand Nigeria Constitution.

This is scary...are we now living in the jungle?

joseph1832:

I want to ask you why the Sultan of Sokoto and his cronies haven't come out to condemn this stupid act, instead, they keep mute and pretend as if nothing is happening, just like they did with Boko Haram until things got out of hand.

Where is the sultan?

Where are the emirs?

Where is the JNI?

Bunch of hypocrites. Why are they not talking?

The Yorubas and the rest can feel comfortable with this rubbish going on, the Igbos will never. It is obvious we have nothing in common with these northern ****

You forcefully kidnap an innocent underage christian girl and you tell us she willingly converted to islam? What a shame! Shame on th Nigerian police. Shame on the north in entirety. Shame on Nigeria as a failed state where a geo-political zone plays god on others. Now where are those bastards who were supporting the ape yunusa yellow on this forum? How many other cases has come up after that?

Those girls should be properly examined and watch keenly. Only God knows what they have done with them. Using christian girls to Infiltrate the christian community might be the aim of this bigots. We all know brain washing is their stock in trade. This their sharia court and police has to checked too. I wonder why it takes this long for them to come up with the girls and why they always shield the perpetrators.

To me, this is another kind of BH in the making. Kidnap christian under aged girls, brainwash them and convert them to islam, send them back to their parents and the Christian community to infiltrate and report back.

Nigerians, especially those from the south should better keep their eyes wide open. If any bastard tries to kidnap your child, just lay him or her to rest quickly to avoid another attempt and save other underage girls from being taken by these glorified bigots.

I wonder why Sanusi, el-rufai, buhari and co haven't made any statement concerning this evil act of kidnapping of underage girls as well as illicit killing of innocent men, women and children by their fulani kingsmen all over Nigeria.

1. Most Muslims will NEVER support kidnap and forceful conversion. It is explicitly stated in the Quran that religion should never be forceful.
2. Sultan of Sokoto doesnt need to openly come out to condemn it. Many Muslim bodies affiliated to the sultan have openly condemned the act. E.g MURIC.
3. We are still waiting for the CAN president, or the head of Nigerian Christians to come out and openly condemn these raping pastors. They are ruining the lives of young girls.

Oh wait...has any CAN president come out to condemn Rev. King?

Condemn the act not Islam please

One amiskurie was complaining bitterly of hypocrisy by christian southerners because they bashed the northern muslims on social media due to Ese's case, but I wonder, how the northern muslims would have reacted if the case were reversed...for example one Emeka elopes with one Halima from Kano, and then converts her to christianity

People don't think this way especially some foooooolish Southerners. Anyone who says Ese eloped with her lover is a. fuul

One thing is certain, threads like this would Everly make front page on naira land since the unfortunate case of miss Ese. But how many of such cases has been confirmed to be true after Ese's case. What remains of the story about a girl that was allegedly forcefully converted and taken to sokoto??

My point is, any jobless journalist could just sit down and paint a scenario and sell it to us and we buy it hook line and sinker.

All these are aimed at denting the image of Islam. I know several nairalanders have already taken the bait, and it has manifested in their attack of Islam.

I hope and pray the next civil war won't be caused by media and unprofessional journalism

u be ewu gambia instead of saying that Yoruba Muslims re not like that ur here defending all Muslims even northern Muslims, besides northern Muslims don't see yorubas as good muslim one Muslim family

It is not in their nature to demonize these other ethnic groups by generalizing,and condemning an entire tribe for the action of a single man.

I'm not an Hausa,but let the truth be told.

Enuf is enuf.

Do they think that Igbos can turn to muslim? That will not happen till God come.
