According to reports, the three of them were arrested on Monday, November 11, and are being detained at the Special Anti-Robbery Squad office of the Kaduna State Police Command.

According to the lawyer to the accused persons, Sani Katu, his clients’ arrest was allegedly masterminded by former husband of Nasiba, one Abubakar Musa, said to be a close associate of the Inspector General of Police, Abubakar Adamu.

He said that Abubakar, who was not happy with the marriage, allegedly boasted that he would use his contacts to deal with whoever was involved in contracting the marriage.
