The village chief of Dorayi (Sarkin Dorayi) Ikara Local Council in Kaduna State and a police officer kidnapped a 14-year-old student named Esther Duniya and forced her to convert to Islam.
The teenager who was abducted on April 5, 2023, is presently being held captive by Hakimin Makarfi in the state’s Makarfi Local Council, according to The Guardian.
Due to her poor health and the unrest in her town, Duniya, who is from Magamia Dama Kasuwa in the Zangon Kataf Local Council of Kaduna State, relocated to Ikara to live with her aunt.

Her aunt started treating her with herbal remedies, and when she started to feel better and respond to treatment, she enrolled at Government Secondary School Danlawal Ikara, which was close to the aunt’s restaurant.
The aforementioned publication was informed by a source that on a crucial day, Esther left for school and never came home.
Source said, “Esther’s aunty started looking for her that very day but couldn’t find her. The following day, she was alerted by someone who saw Esther in the house of one Mallam Sani Danmeyamma Danlawal.
“On reaching the house, Danlawal’s daughter, Mansura, who is Esther’s classmate, confessed that the teenager came to her house to help her with washing, but left the house afterwards.
“When the matter was reported to the Village head of Danlawal, he summoned and questioned the said Mansura, who later confessed that Esther was taken to Dorayi to the house of one Aisha Basiru.

“On hearing this, Esther’s aunty left for Dorayi in search of the teenager, and on reaching there, she received the shocking news that one Badeyi Bala, who claimed to be a police officer and one Alhaji Lawal, who is an aide to the village head of Dorayi (Dogarin Sarkin Dorayi), admitted that one Aisha brought Esther to him to convert her to Islam, which he did with the said Badeyi Bala, who claims to be a policeman.
The kidnappers informed Esther’s aunt that she was with them and that they had no plans to release her due to the fact that she has already converted to Islam.
“When the parents insisted on the return of Esther, the two staff members of the village head refused and even threatened their lives.
“In view of the threat they received and the refusal to return Esther to them, Esther’s aunty went and reported the matter to the Kunkumi Police Station and thereafter the matter was transferred to the Makarfi Local Council Divisional Police Station.

“Instead of handing over Esther back to her family, the Makarfi Police Command handed over Esther to the Makarfi District Head (Hakimin Makarfi). Esther’s aunty, together with some Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) officials of Makarfi council went to see the Hakimi on the same matter, but he refused to grant them an audience.
“The same Hakimi handed over Aisha to Daawa, the Islamic group in charge of converting and indoctrinating Muslims converts who are now boasting and threatening to convert even Esther’s aunty.
“The same matter was taken to the Zaria Police Command by the same Muslim group to gain the support of the Police, because the Zaria Police Command ignored justice and decided to scold Esther’s aunty for insisting on the release of her daughter.
“On Monday, May 1, 2023, Esther’s biological father, Mr. Duniya, despite his health challenge, risked his life to go and see the Hakimin Makarfi, instead of listening to him, in conspiracy with the Daawah group threatened to convert him also.

“When they brought Esther to see him, she was crying and wanted to follow him, but Hakimi said that he would not release her to the parents. He said Esther will stay with him for one month until she finally decides to speak of her intention publicly to remain a Muslim,” the source added.
