A Muslim sheikh was poisoned shortly after converting to Christianity in Kenya

A former sheikh (Islamic teacher) in eastern Uganda was poisoned on Saturday (April 2), shortly after his wife learned he had converted to Christianity, he said.
Hiire Sadiki, 56, of Masjidi Uthuman at Nawanjofu village, Butaleja District, said from his hospital bed that he put his faith in Christ on March 27 after several months of discussions with a Christian pastor.
After he declined to observe the Islamic rituals of Ramadan, his wife noticed him praying in the name of Christ, he said.
“She realized that I had converted to Christianity,” Sadiki said. “She questioned me because of the mode of my praying. I told her that I had believed in Issa [Jesus].”
His wife had studied the Koran at Bugembe Islamic Institute and knew verses about punishment for apostasy, and she left the room and began phoning Muslim leaders, he said. She then returned and started preparing supper.
“After 30 minutes, a lady who is a neighbor arrived and went to the kitchen, and after a short while, she left,” he said. His pastor told Morning Star News that Sadiki suffered convulsions and vomiting after eating. The former sheikh phoned him, and the pastor went to Sadiki’s house and took him to a hospital.
