On Monday a father, Oyefeso Saheed, was remanded by a family court at the Oke-Kura Correctional Centre in Ilorin for giving out his 12-year-old daughter in marriage and collecting an HP laptop as bride price.
Magistrate Shade Lawal also ordered the remand of the victim’s purported husband, Ismail Lawal, 32, before adjourning the case till Wednesday for further mention.
Earlier, the prosecutor, Sergeant Akinjide Adisa, said that the matter was reported at the Adewole police station by Aishat Temem, a member of the state branch of the International Federation of Women Lawyers (FIDA) after she received a call from the victim’s school principal.
The prosecutor also told the court that the purported husband gave the victim a HP laptop as the bride price for the marriage.
He then prayed to the court to order the remand of the two defendants on the basis that the offence they allegedly committed were non-bailable.
The defendants pleaded not guilty to the charges preferred against them.

Poverty eh.
ReplyDeleteYou for kuku exchange her for a loaf of bread.
What a shameless father that could give out hisb12 years old daughter to a 32 years old fool. So your daughter doesn't mean anything better than a laptop of how mush self.
ReplyDeleteWonders! He is planning to start Yahoo biz with the laptop ni?
ReplyDeleteAnd does a 12 year old know about marriage biko?
Has it gotten to this extent??
ReplyDeleteThis is reprehensible and gut-wrenching.
If we check well now, it can only be from dem 'multiple wives marrying' gang, bethrothing a child to someone old enough to be her father.
ReplyDeleteWhy their religion can't put down a law to prevent child bride marriage is beyond me. Marry a hundred women for all we care, it's the women's headache, but make sure they are not children!!
Stupid father, imbecile 'husband'.
I love this!!! If you see this kind of thing around you, speak up because some parents are straight up irresponsible, God bless the Principal and the lawyer, hopefully the girl can complete her education.

Not all that have children are qualified parents.
You will see some and how they treat their own children you will feel like taking the children away from them or calling police.
Imagine! Very wicked and irresponsible father.
ReplyDeleteHe deserves to be remanded mtceeeew.
Some people don't deserve to have kids truly but God does His things in His own ways.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wicked father.
What i don't get is what the obviously dense illiterate abominable excuse of a father would be doing with the hp laptop. The thirty two year old that wants to be a husband to a twelve year old baby nko? Smh.
