A Christian boy has been killed after a woman said to be a radical Muslim opposed to his father\u2019s conversion from Islam sold him and his sister to a witchdoctor for ritual sacrifice, sources said.<\/p>\n
Sulaiman Pulisi, a former imam (mosque leader) who became a Christian three years ago, said that in July 2018 his daughter, then 13, and his then-11-year-old son, Abdulmajidu, disappeared from their home in eastern Uganda\u2019s Kachiribong village, Kasasira Town in Kibuku District. Police rescued his daughter September 16.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are mourning for our son who is alleged to have been sacrificed,\u201d the crestfallen Pulisi told Morning Star News. \u201cWe are mourning with my daughter, who has been used as a sex object by the Muslim shaman.\u201d<\/p>\n
The identity of the suspected kidnappers remained unclear. Pulisi\u2019s daughter was rescued from the witchdoctor\u2019s home in a village in western Uganda after a Christian shopkeeper there asked her where she had come from.<\/p>\n
\u201cA radical Muslim woman called Sania Muhammad [of Kasasira, in eastern Uganda] who had connections with Muslim men used to look for children of converts from Islam and sell them to this particular Muslim witchdoctor,\u201d the shopkeeper, Joseph Sodo, told Morning Star News based on what police have told him about their investigations.<\/p>\n
