When asked if she was abused in any way, he said the young girl said she was well taken care of. As a matter of fact, the pastor took her like his daughter and saw to her every need. However, converting her to Christianity was the issue as it has to do with religion and ethnic issues. Awwal described Kaduna as a volatile state; issues that have to do with religion no matter how trivial could degenerate into a major crisis. The 19-year-old girl confirmed what Awwal said, that she was not touched by the pastor in any strange way. She also did not mention to him that she wanted to return home even though she missed her family from time to time. Assistant Superintendent (ASP) Muhammad Jalige, the police PRO of Kaduna command, shed some light on the issue. According to him, the young girl was intercepted by a farmer at the outskirt of town in Kaduna. It was the farmer who took her to the pastor. Jalige believes her consent at that age even though she was not forced is immaterial. The pastor has been arrested by the police.
