After being kidnapped, Adekanola, a Christian student, was forced to convert to Islam.

Campus Mission Watch (CMW) reports that at Kaduna State University, a Christian student named Dorcas Adedayo Adekanola was abducted and coerced into becoming an Islamic convert.

Twenty-year-old Adekanola was a chemistry student who participated actively in the Fellowship of Christian Students. Her case was forwarded to the Kaduna State Inter-Faith Commission and the Commissioner of Police in Kaduna after her parents filed a report about her absence with the school administration and the commissioner of police.

The commission has not yet issued a decision, but it is scheduled to rule on her case on September 29. Adekanola has been prohibited from communicating with her parents or other Christians on campus, and she is still with her captors. A well-funded campus organisation called the Majlis Muslim Sisters is using hypnosis, fetish drugs, coercion, charms, and other tactics to force employees and students to convert to Islam. In addition, the group coerces Christians through kidnapping, seclusion, deprivation, and fabrications of charges of blasphemy and slander. In 2022, Nigeria topped the global leader in the number of Christian abductions, sexual assaults, forced marriages, and physical or psychological abuse. Additionally, Nigeria had the highest number of attacks on homes and businesses motivated by religious beliefs.
