BRIDE RUNS AWAY HOUR AFTER WEDDING

He claimed that Dauda mobilised his friends who stormed his compound, insisting that Fiddausi must be produced and in the process they molested him and brutalised his wife, named Bayi.

“Some other female guests from Kano were also brutalised, food items and other valuables they brought for the wedding ceremony were stolen by the hoodlums who attacked us for our alleged failure to produce the bride,’’Haruna said.

He added that, while the hoodlums were molesting his family and his guests, the police officers from Kaduna Road outpost arrested him, his wife and his younger brother who is also the marriage guardian, Umar Musa.

Haruna dismissed the allegation by the police that he was arrested for disrupting public peace in the community, but explained that the police asked him to refund N260, 000 to Dauda, being the amount he spent on the marriage. He said when he failed to pay the money as demanded; he was detained together with his wife and his younger brother by the police.

The father-in-law confirmed that his was detained alongside with some of the family members overnight at the police outpost and were granted bail following the intervention of his lawyer, Aliyu Musa, adding that bail was obtained on the condition that they would bring the money the following day or risk prosecution.
