Nigerian policed arrested 22-year-old for converting to Christianity

Nigerian police arrested a 22-year-old woman for converting to Christianity from Islam, reports International Christian Concern.

Though the Federal High Court ruled in her favor, the Christian family that helped her is facing false charges of kidnapping.

In 2025, “Sarah” fled from her home in Kano State after her elder siblings tried forcing her into an arranged marriage with a Muslim. While she was on the run, a Christian family took her in and shared the Gospel with her. Through the Abaras family’s witness, she gave her life to Jesus Christ. 

When her siblings learned of her conversion, they began working with the local Hisbah, the Islamic police force, to track her down and arrest her. 

Police discovered her and detained her for four days, during which they beat her and pressured her to return home and accept the Muslim-arranged marriage. When she was released, the Abaras family helped her escape to a neighboring state with less Muslim influence.

Please pray for Sarah’s safety and that her Christian faith would grow stronger.

According to Open Doors, Nigeria, Africa is the seventh most dangerous country worldwide for Christians.
