According to the Leadership, Patience said,

“I was sent to buy biscuits and on my way I saw him (her abductor) and he persuaded me to come to his bungalow…He was forcefully making love to me any time he wanted. They first took me to Sarkin Baki house, and kept me there for seven months before my parents came looking for me.

They gave me something to drink, but I refused to take the drink, and they took me to one room and locked me inside the room.”

She also narrated how her abductor and some Sharia policemen had taken her to an Imam in the Sabo area of Sokoto where she was forcefully turned to a Muslim and given a new name, Aisha. She said she was not married off because she was yet to finish her Islamic lesson.

“They forcefully made me to turn to Muslim and gave me another name, Aisha. Some people wanted to marry me, but the Sarkin Baki refused and said until I finish Islamic school before they marry me off,” she said.
