The conversion to
Islam of 25-year-old Charity Uzoechina, daughter of Pastor Raymond
Uzoechina of the Redeem Christian Church of God, Kwankwashe, Suleja,
continues to generate controversy. Her father accused
the Estu Nupe, Alhaji Yahaya Abubukar, of hypnotizing his daughter, who
has since changed her name to A’isha, to embrace Islam. A’isha, who
hails from Asaba, Delta State, came to Abuja at the age of 10 when her
father relocated from Lagos. After her secondary
school education at Army Day Secondary School Asokoro, Abuja she got
admission into Federal Polytechnic, Bida to read Public Administration.
She, however, withdrew from the course in her first year. She embraced
Islam on February 15, 2013. A’isha said since her family relocated to
Suleja, Niger State, she has been in the midst of Muslims, which
accorded her the opportunity to have several Muslims friends and learnt a
lot about Islam..
