Controversial Islam Conversion: Sorry dad, I quit Christianity for good — Charity-turned- Aisha on may 18, 2014 at 12:35 am in reports Charity’s parents Charity (backing camera) with dad and a relation You might also like CAN aborts secret wedding to Muslim brother By Wole Mosadomi Charity Uzoechima, the 26-year-old girl who converted to Islam and kept in the palace of Etsu Nupe, Alhaji Yahaya Abubakar, for “safety” for three months, is in the news again. Her fate and whereabouts since July last year when she was brought to Government House, Minna, Niger State for reconciliation with her parents had not been known until days ago when she was said to be prepared and almost given out in marriage to a Muslim lawyer without the consent of her parents. The last time she was brought to public glare was July 3,2013 in Government House, Minna. She was not alone on that day. Her parents, Pastor and Mrs. Raymond Uzoechima; their lawyer, Femi Ikotun; the National Secretary of Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Dr. Musa Atake; CAN Chairman, Niger State, Rev. Musa Dada; and immediate past governor of the state, Engr, Abdulkadir Kure; among other stake holders, were at the peace meeting held at Government House, Minna on that day with the deputy governor, Alhaji Musa Ibeto, presiding. The purpose was to reconcile Charity with her family. But the reconcilation failed due to a pending court case that compelled Charity to remain in Etsu Nupe’s palace until the case was discontinued. The deputy governor said after the meeting that the issue at hand was not religion but how to settle the case out of court amicably. “We believe that the issue at hand is not the religion Charity should practice but how the case should be settled out of court amicably and get the girl reconciled with her parents,” Ibeto remarked. Charity’s father, Uzoechima, had filed a case on July 15, 2013, praying the court to bar the Sharia Court from entertaining a suit filed by his daughter on the grounds that the court lacked competence and jurisdiction to hear the suit. Charity, now Aisha, had dragged her father to Sharia court, Bida, seeking its protection from the father over her conversion from Christianity to Islam in order to exercise her new faith without hindrance. Meanwhile, the lady was withdrawn from the Etsu Nupe’s palace and kept in the deputy governor’s house where she was said to have been residing. My candid advice is that those holding Charity abi Amina should release her to her parents or be labelled softcore Boko Haram.
