The 13-year-old Christian girl, Alheri Grace Bawa, who was abducted and forcibly converted to Islam in Bauchi State have been rescued.
It was gathered that the victim was abducted by her uncle, Mallam Dauda Bawa, a Muslim, after she went to spend a weekend with him.
Bawa’s father, Elder Bawa Buba, a cleric of the Seventh Day Adventist Church, said he got the shock of his life when he called the man to know his daughter’s whereabouts only for him (the abductor) to tell hm to forget about her as she had been converted to Islam.
Consequently, Buba wrote a petition to the inspector general of police, the National Assembly and the ministry of women affairs informing them of the development.
