Patience Paul, 15-year-old schoolgirl who was abducted in Sokoto state, has explained her ordeal in the hands of her abductor.
The teenager who was forcefully abducted and converted to Islam explained that she was held in captivity and segxwally abused in Sarkin Baki (king of strangers) residence in the state for seven months.
The Benue-born student had gone missing on August 12, 2015, but help came her way after the Governor Aminu Waziri Tambuwal of Sokoto state ordered an investigation into the matter, a directive which later led to her release
According to Leadership, young Patience explained that her abductor and some Hisbah (Sharia police) personnel took her to an Imam in Runjin Sambo area of Sokoto, claiming that she wished to be converted to a Muslim.
“I was sent to buy biscuits and on my way I saw him (her abductor) and he persuaded me to come to his bungalow,” the young girl noted.
On whether she was forced into marriage in Sokoto, the primary six pupil answered in the negative, stating however, that her abductor turned her into a sex slave at the house of the Sarkin Baki.
She said: “Yes, he was forcefully making love to me any time he wanted.
“They first took me to Sarkin Baki house, and kept me there for seven months before my parents came looking for me.
“They gave me something to drink, but I refused to take the drink, and they took me to one room and locked me inside the room.
“They forcefully made me to turn to Muslim and gave me another name, Aisha. Some people wanted to marry me, but the Sarkin Baki refused and said until I finish Islamic school before they marry me off.”
Barrister Ezekiel Dyagas, a lawyer with a Plateau-based NGO, who helped with the rescue of Patience, addressed a press conference in Kaduna, explaining that he was briefed about her case on March 1, 2016, by her brother.
According to him: “Her brother, who is here with me, has been up and doing since the family realised that the little girl was missing and eventually abducted by one of her neighbours.
