The IGP Is Attacking My Family Because I Divorced His ‘Bosom Friend’ – Woman Cries Out

A former chairman of Peugeot Automobile Nigeria, Limited, Sani Dauda, arrested for being a part of his daughter’s alleged illegal marriage has been released.

This was confirmed by his daughter, Nasiba to newsmen while stating that his release followed an order from the Kaduna state high court, where the case is being heard.

Nasiba opined that her family is being targeted because she refused to remain in a legally dissolved marriage with Abubakar Musa, her ex-husband who according to her is a childhood friend of Mohammed Adamu, inspector-general of police (IGP).

“I don’t know why the IG is making this a criminal offence. I know my ex-husband is a childhood friend of the IG and he was also instrumental in his appointment as IG, but if the IG wants him married, he should marry off his own daughters to him,” she said.

In a suit with number KDH/KAD/982/2019, Dauda asked the court to restrain the IGP from detaining him or arresting his daughter.

The judge, ML Muhammed, granted Dauda and two others arrested with him, bail while also restraining the IGP from “taking any steps inimical to the determination of the motion on notice”.

Nasiba said her marriage to Musa owing to physical and emotional abuse.

She added that her ex-husband assaulted her in ways no one could imagine.

In January, 2018, a Sharia court in Kaduna dissolved the marriage and ordered that Nasiba be allowed to exit her ex-husband’s residence.

The case was adjourned till November 19.
