Sultan condemns ‘forceful conversion’ of abducted girls

The Sultan of Sokoto, Saad Abubakar has said Islamic virtue is against forceful conversion as being claimed by Boko Haram who reportedly converted over 200 abducted schoolgirls to Islam.

The Sultan described the sect misconduct as against the teachings of the Prophet who promoted peaceful co existence during his life time.

The Sultan spoke in Ibadan on Friday during the commissioning of a mosque by the Islamic community in Bodija.

Abubakar, who condemned the abduction of the girls and their forceful conversion to Islam, described the action as “ungodly and unIslamic.”

The Governor of Oyo state, Senator Abiola Ajimobi, in his remark, said the construction of the mosque has brought more Islamic presence to the community and its environs.
