Teenager Habiba was snatched from her school in northern
Nigeria and handed over to marry a Muslim – for around £130, her family say.
She’s only just turned 15.
Please pray for this Christian girl who has now spent two months in what
Release partners describe as ‘modern-day slavery’.
Our partners, who are supporting the family, allege that Habiba was
abducted from her school in Kankara by an aide from the Emir of Katsina’s
household. She was then forcibly converted to Islam and
married.
Some reports claim that Habiba’s new ‘husband’ is the Emir himself,
Alhaji Abdulmummuni Kabir Usman: others say that she’s been married to the man
who abducted her, Jamilu Lawal, and that the Emir was paid a £128 dowry for
her. Release Int.
