Obasempire reports that a concerning update has emerged from Damaturu, Yobe State, showing that a young Christian girl, who was kidnapped and converted to Islam, regurgitated suspicious substances in church.

Rev. Kallamu Musa Ali Dikwa, Director General of the Centre, claimed that the victims’ placentas are utilized for ritualistic practices. Bishop Audu Yohanna, the Anglican Church Bishop and Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) chairman in Yobe State, confirmed that the girl regurgitated in the church office during prayers.
The Centre has issued a deadline to the captors, demanding the release of all other prisoners, as there are currently 30 cases of abductees under police investigation, according to CAN. This event highlights the ongoing injustices and suffering faced by marginalized Nigerians, especially in the Northeast region.
The Centre has urged President Bola Tinubu to address the kidnapping of young Christian girls, forced conversions to Islam, and coerced marriages.
Rev. Dikwa asserted that Muslims are using the placentas of forcibly converted underage Christian girls for ritual purposes.
He noted that when Rejoice Markus was rescued and brought to the church for spiritual cleansing, she regurgitated the substances given to her. Other victims, including Elizabeth Bitrus, Deborah Yusuf, Damarin Paul, and Linda Usman, are facing similar issues.

The report underscores the persistent issue of kidnapping and forced conversion of young Christian girls in Northern Nigeria, with the Centre and CAN urging government action to address this problem.
