ICC Note:  Three children in Uganda were kidnapped by Islamic radicals in 2015 with the intention of Islamizing them to become terrorists. Fortunately, the three victims were able to escape and are now reunited with their families.

8/04/2018 Uganda (Christian Telegraph) – Three children kidnapped in 2015 in eastern Uganda were found in May, malnourished and showing signs of having been indoctrinated in Islam, relatives said.

Had the children not escaped, they might have been forced into a foreign terrorist group, their father, Badiru Madengho, told Morning Star News.

“It seems the person who took my children had an intention of Islamizing them as well as wanting them to join a terrorist group,” said Madengho, a convert from Islam. “Thank God for saving my children in a miraculous way. Though the children looked miserable, sickly and confused, now with counseling they will be restored back. The God who saved them is able to restore them back to good, sound mind.”
