Charity cannot be released by the Emir to either the parents or anybody until the case instituted by Charity is vacated by the Sharia court in Bida, Niger State, Vanguard has learnt.
The hearing could not hold on August 1 because of the ongoing conference of lawyers holding in Minna, which made the courts go on their annual vacation from August 5, to resume on September 15.
Charity, whose new name is Aisha, has equally dragged her father before the Sharia Court, Bida, praying the court to give her protection from her father after converting from Christianity to Islam.
The Sharia court, which was to give its ruling on the prayer of Charity (Aisha) last Wednesday, August 1 in Bida could not also sit.
No date has been fixed for the ruling.
The parents of the girl, especially the father, have alleged foul play and demanded for the immediate release of their daughter.
While the case is still pending, Niger State Government waded into the crisis so that it will not degenerate into religious crisis, which the state may not be able to contend with.

Pls rest assured this is not going to degenerate into a religious crisis in Niger State. At worst Christians will resort to the Law to try and extricate this lawful captive or bind this strongman in the spiritual and deliver his prey. When there might be a crisis is when God in his mercy choses to open this lady's eyes and she repents. Cause I believe our brothers on the other side would not take it sitting down and you can expect violence and burning as history has proved is their usual penchant. But that Christians would go physical over this; it's not going to happen. Sad as this story is its is warning: we are in the last days, iniquity shall abound and the love of many will wax cold. So let us watch and pray lest we fall into temptation and let him who thinks he stand take heed lest he falls. I pray Charity will at least consider the heartache her parents must be going thru right now turn from the error of her ways.
ReplyDeleteFor God's sake, this lady is an adult and has freedom to choose whatever religion she wants.
DeleteHer dad cant force her to do christianity or any other religion for that matter. Religion is a matter of conviction my brother
Even islam says -there is no compulsion in religion,the truth is evident from falsehood. So our sister Aisha(nee charity) must have reverted out of her sincere conviction and not under force or pressure as claimed.
DeleteReporters learn to write a delicate report like this issue. A lady of 25yr old is old enough to decide for herself. There is no compulsion in religion. No body can force her. Mtceeeeeeeeew.
