A group under the aegis of Hausa Christian Foundation (HAFCO), has accused the Emir of Katsina, Abdulmumini Kabir, of illegally marrying off a kidnapped Christian teenager, Aisha Mani, to her abductor, one Mohammed Samaila, without her family’s consent. In a post on its Facebook page on Sunday, HACFO said the monarch forcefully married off the 16-year-old girl to Samaila who had abducted her despite police efforts to rescue her and a petition against him by a law firm. The foundation narrated how the Emir connived with the District Head of Kafur in Kafur local government area of the state, Abdulrahman Rabe, to perpetrate the unlawful act. HAFCO added that the victim was relocated from her home in Gidan Dandada by her parents to live with her relatives in Funtua after they suspected she was having romantic relationships with Samaila. However, the teenager was said to have gone missing from Funtua and after long hours of search, the case was reported to the police. Two days later, on February 12, 2021, Aisha’s parents received a call from the District Head of Kafur, telling them to stop searching for Aisha because she was safe with him in his house. He claimed that one Idris Shehu brought her to his house, HACFO wrote.
