Children aged between three and eight who were seized from the embattled Du Merci Orphanages in Nigeria’s Kano and Kaduna States are reportedly being forced to observe Islamic practices such as studying the Quran after their names were also changed.
Religious Freedom Coalition, an international non-profit religious organization, which assists persecuted Christians in various areas of the world, has announced the relocation of young children who were left homeless after their orphanage was burnt down by armed Fulani herdsmen in Nigeria’s Plateau State.
The leadership of the Religious Freedom Coalition has described the recent torching of an orphanage that housed children who recently lost their guardians and homes in militant attacks in Nigeria as “a disaster of tremendous proportions.”
