By the way, how old are you? must you insult someone before you make your point?

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

joseph1832:
Seen and read it. Progressive01 I must say is disillusioned. He forgot that there's a difference, when a girl gets raped, and the perpetrators were caught and when a girl is kidnapped, converted to Islam and married off and the perpetrator(s) are being shielded by virtue of their religious affiliation.

I even want to ask progressive01 what he think most moslem would have done, if it were moslems girls that were being kidnapped, converted to christianity and married off.

He fails to see that crime, in whatever or which ever form, is still crime. It mustn't be condoned neither should it be politicized or tolerated.

Anybody who breaks the law should be made to face the law, irrespective of that persons political, religious or tribal standing. Its just that simple.

What would have happened if Yunusa was Christian and Ese a muslim

SeverusSnape:

Bros, You have spoken/written well. Let him answer the above questions. So he expected us to keep quiet while all these is happening, this thing has been going on for ages now, most go unreported.

What would have happened if Yunusa was Christian and Ese a muslim

Rape is wrong, no one will argue that. But trying to justify one crime with another is the height of stupidity.

Thank you.

Don't get me wrong NLanders, am not in any way defending any illicit act. I just want us to take things carefully and judge wisely

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

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.

The new way of Islamic evangelism is call child abduction.

ogaprime:


At least, with that you can know that the pastor is not real and such pastor can be arrested without christians creating scenes but this kidnap issue, emirs are backing it because it is an islamic agenda

crownwealth:
Nigerians na so we go dey ?

Please is their any difference between these abductions and that of the Chibok girls abducted by Boko Haram

Where is Hell-rufai? this is where you should channel your energy by enacting a law that criminalize forceful abduction and conversion of Christian girls by your fellow pedophiles.

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.

This evil sect with their forceful conversion to Islam is on the Increase.
Very soon they will be shouting that there is no compulsion in religion
Btw, this CANCER is spreading maliciously... and it seems that one of there evil plans is converting Christian girls to Sex Slaves for those there dirty stinking smelling Alhajis .

One thing I know is that Jesus Christ is watching them and will surely visit them in His anger except they repent and accept Christ
Evil and darkness can never overshadow the Light of God which is in Christ Jesus.

As for the Islamic agenda, I leave you to wallow in your ignorance. No point talking about that anymore.
