Right there in the home state of no other person but president Buhari, a moral tragedy is currently taking place. A 14 year old Christian girl, Habiba Isa was reportedly abducted by an aide to the Emir of Katsina, forced to convert to Islam before being forcefully taken by the Emir in the name of marriage.
The girl is 14, which means she is a minor incapable of giving consent. She was abducted and brainwashed into converting to Islam just like the Bayelsa girl Ese Oruru, remember? Now she's been taken by the 65 year old Katsina Emir in the name of marriage.
A 65 year old Emir "marrying" a 14 year old girl WITH neither the knowledge nor consent of the girl's parents. Think about this for a moment.
Do you know what the Katsina Emirate council has decided?
The Katsina Emirate council has ruled that the marriage is irreversible!
What was the police reaction?
The police has done nothing! Matter of fact, when the father of Habiba Isa reported the case of abduction of their daughter by the Emir 's aide to the police, the police referred the case to the Emir. Yes, you heard me right. Your police force referred a criminal case of abduction to a traditional ruler to settle.
What action has the Umbrella body of Christians known as CAN taken so far?
CAN has surrendered even without a fight.
What has those 'big big' churches and pastors done or said about the plight of this girl?
Nothing!!
Any word from the President in whose home state this moral tragedy happened??
Criminal silence, as usual.
Quite frankly, it is for reasons not unconnected with limited vocabulary that I still refer to this Lugard Cage called Nigeria as a country.
A poor mother and father currently going through severe pain just to have their daughter back. And the abductors of this minor had the criminal audacity to look the whole country in the face and declare the so called marriage irreversible. And the police did nothing. Even the other intelligence outfit that has PhD in midnight raid and door-breaking hasn't deemed it necessary to break the doors to the house of the Katsina Emir to free this poor girl. The poor parents are left with no hope of recovering their baby girl.
In the 21st century 2016!!!!!!!!!
Dear Lord!
This was exactly how Ese Oruru was abducted from Bayelsa and taken to the palace of the Emir of Kano by one Yinusa a.k.a Yellow. Ese was brainwashed and forcefully converted to Islam. The parents were denied access to the girl. They were even attacked by kano mob. And a whole I.G of police had the imbecilic audacity to tell us that he couldn't rescue the Ese Oruru girl from the kano Emir's palace without the help of the Emir. Today, Ese is back with her parents but not without a permanent scar from the unfortunate incident as she is currently nursing a child while her abductor, Mr Yinusa was given a heroic welcome when he landed in Kano via a private jet.
Note, in the case of Ese Oruru, the Police authorities knew the identities as well as the whereabouts of both the abductors and the victim for 7 months but refused to do anything to rescue the victim until Nigerians on social media took over the matter.
Now, this despicable act is happening again, with the active complicity of the security agencies and criminal silence from the President in whose home state this repulsive act is taken place.
Can anyone give me one genuine reason any right thinking person should still continue to support this government under whose watch this evil is happening??
Most of you have girl children right? Now take a minute and imagine your 14 year old daughter taken away from you and the next thing you heard was that this your innocent child has been brainwashed and forcefully converted to another religion and is now married to a 65 year old man. And despite all your efforts to get back this your little 'Princess', the police refused to rescue her. And what is worse, even your own President who hails from thesame state where this outrageous event took place has refused to help you retrieve your daughter. You now have to come back home and cry day and night for your little child!
Even if these Northern Muslim guys must marry underaged girls, why don't they marry their own Muslim girls?? Why must it always be Christian girls?? Why???
I think this is all part of a grand plan to Islamize us all. Just kidnap any Christian underaged girl, bring her to the palace of an Emir, brainwash her until she abandons her Christian faith and accept Islam, then take her as wife. The police and the govt are all in on this evil plan, it would seem.
This is evil! This is condemnable! This is a morally tragedy!
Shame on CAN for keeping quiet in the face of this heinous attack on Christianity in particular and humanity in general.
It is such a crying shame I share thesame geographical space as these 16th century beings responsible for this evil but the bigger shame is, I can't do much to undo this!
For shame!!
