Something you will never see covered in the MSM.
While the UN Human Rights commission investigates cartoons and so-called 'Islamophobia' this gets ignored.
NINGI, Nigeria, May 19 (Compass Direct News) Islamists under the auspices of a paramilitary force last week destroyed six churches to protest a police rescue of two teenage Christian girls kidnapped by Muslims in this Bauchi state town.
| Funny, I thought kidnapping was a crime ... |
Police recovered the two Christian girls, Mary Chikwodi Okoye, 15, and Uche Edward, 14, on May 12 after Muslims in Ningi kidnapped them three weeks ago in an attempt to expand Islam by marrying them to Muslim men. Police took the two girls, who had been under foster care, to safety in southeastern Nigeria where their biological parents live.
The kidnappers had taken the girls to Wudil town in Kano state. Following the rescue of the girls, Muslims under the auspices of the Hisbah Command, a paramilitary arm of Kano states Sharia Commission, responsible for enforcing Islamic law, went on a rampage on Tuesday (May 13), attacking Christians and setting fire to the churches.
The destroyed churches were the Deeper Life Bible Church, St. Marys Catholic Church, All Souls Anglican Church, Church of Christ in Nigeria, Redeemed Christian Church of God, and the Redeemed Peoples Mission.
Abdu said the Christian foster parents of the two rescued girls, Kanayo Chukwu Osakwe and Robinson Ajolokwu Ozuagbunna, noticed the teenagers were missing three weeks ago and reported it to police and to Ningis Emirate Council. The Christian community in Ningi, having reported the matter to the police, organized a search team to search for the missing girls, Abdu said. Word eventually got to the search team that the girls were being held in the town of Wudil in Kano state by a Muslim leader in that town.

Kidnapping of teenage Christian girls by Muslims, the pastor said, has become a recurring practice in Ningi. Muslims have kidnapped at least 13 Christian girls in the town, Christian sources said. These girls are usually kidnapped, forcefully converted to Islam, and then married out to other Muslim men against the will of both the girls and their parents, Abdu said.
Two months ago Muslims in Ningi kidnapped another Christian teenage girl, Maryann Chinenye, converted her to Islam and then married her to a Muslim man, he said. As I talk to you now, the girl is yet to be found by her parents, Abdu added.
The pastor said a member of his church, Comfort Joseph, had her daughter kidnapped four years ago. The teenage daughter of Mrs. Joseph was converted to Islam and married to a Muslim man, he said. Up to this moment I am speaking to you, we have not been able to rescue this girl from these Muslims.
The attack on Christians last Tuesday (May 13), Osakwe said, left him financially devastated as Ningi Muslims looted or destroyed goods worth over 50 million naira (US$434,065) in his shops.
Muslim leaders Emir Danyaya and Gambo in Ningi, and the Muslim leader at Wudil in Kano, Maibishi declined to speak to Compass about the kidnappings and attacks.
Robinson Ajolokwu Ozuegbunna, foster father of the rescued 14-year-old Edward and a member of the All Souls Anglican Church, confirmed Osakwes account of the kidnappings and the attack on Christians in Ningi town. A resident of Ningi for 22 years, he told Compass that he had lost everything in the attack.
Her mother told Compass that police have not been able to rescue her from the Muslims who abducted her. I learned that she was forcefully married to a Muslim man and that she has given birth to two children, Joseph said.
She said Gambo was responsible for the kidnapping of her daughter. Alhaji Gambo boasted before us when we went to the Emirs palace that he did it, and that we cannot do anything to him, she told Compass. The man has protection from the sharia courts.
