The Nigeria Police in Niger State have arrested a woman, Gladys Nana Muazu for converting from Islam to Christianity.
Gladys and her children had relocated from Minna in Niger State to Keffi town in Nasarawa State due to threat to life by her husband and family members after their conversion.
Adah Muazu, daughter of Gladys told The Dune Newspaper that her father married the mother as a Christian and forcefully converted her to Islam.
“As I grew up, I got to know Jesus and converted to Christianity. My mother being a Christian before, joined me.
