Fifteen-year-old Patience Paul, the schoolgirl allegedly abducted in Sokoto and forcefully converted to Islam, has recounted how she was abducted, held in captivity and segxwally abused for seven months in Sarkin Baki (king of strangers’) residence in Sokoto State.
Patience, who hails from Benue State, went missing on August 12, 2015. But reprieve came the way of the kidnapped girl and her family after the Sokoto State governor, Alhaji Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, ordered an investigation into the matter, which resulted in her release and subsequent reunion with her family. LEADERSHIP gathered from Patience that her abductor and some Hisbah (Sharia police) personnel had taken her to an imam in Runjin Sambo area of Sokoto with a claim that she wanted to convert to Islam.
Patience said, “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 primary six pupil disclosed that she was not forced into marriage but that her abductor turned her into a s*x slave at the house of the Sarkin Baki.
“Yes, he was forcefully making love to me any time he wanted,” she answered to a question on whether she was segxwally abused. “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.
Addressing a press conference in Kaduna, a lawyer with a Jos, Plateau State-based non-governmental organisation (NGO), Voice for the Girl’s Child Foundation (VGCF), Barrister Ezekiel Dyagas, who helped in securing Patience’s release, said he was briefed about her case on March 1, 2016, by her brother.
Barrister Dyagas said: “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.”

These people are bloody ANIMALS. Yet some people still believe in One Nigeria, a Nation cannot coexist with the Abokis and develop. They are the ones retarding the progress of this Nation. I have a believe that disintegration is the answer to Nigeria problem. I support Biafra if presented in a more professional way

When will this Muslim criminals be made to face the consequences of their actions? They have to be arrested, tried and convicted to deter others nursing similar ambitions.

This Muslim bashing is not only stupid and sheepish ,but also naïve and simply a rubbish .Are you going to class all the evil pastors molesting and impregnating member of their congregations, frolicking with others wives, snatching married women, etc etc as work of the Christian world. They're all part of what is wrong with bad humans not Christendom. The entire episode is wrong and perpetrators must be punished without delay, but what is it relationship with Islam or Muslims. Most of your silly side kicks on topics here is simply borne out of deep seated ignorance. And in many ways , I prefer illiteracy to ignorance .
