Follow @NigeriaPI Seventy-year-old Tanko Isiyaku tells FRIDAY OLOKOR the story of his daughter, Habiba’s marriage to one Jamilu Lawal said to be an aide to the Emir of Katsina, Alhaji Abdulmumini Kabiru Usman My name is Isiyaku Tanko. I am from Warkaza community in Kudun Kankara Local Government Area of Katsina State. I am a Christian and belong to the ECWA denomination. I am 70 years old. When did you hear about the marriage of your daughter to Jamilu Lawal, believed to be an aide to the Emir of Katsina? It was when she left home that we heard about it. She left home on August 16. When was the last time you saw her? It was when I went to see the state commissioner of police about the matter that I saw her last. I have forgotten the date. Did you marry her off to him? I did not do that. She was forced into marriage. Do you know Jamilu Lawal? Yes, he lived close to us in the community. When you said he lived close to your family, was he a friend to your family? No, not at all. Do you know if there was an affair between him and your daughter? Honestly, I do not think anything like that happened. Before she was taken away, did you notice any change in your daughter’s behaviour especially her religious beliefs? No, there was no such thing. She did not change in any way, not even in her religion. She is a very dedicated Christian who believes in the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Is it true that you wrote...

Follow @NigeriaPI The family of businessman, Mr Goodie Ibru, has reacted to the announcement by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), declaring him wanted over alleged “capital market fraud, money laundering and diversion of funds”. In a statement on Thursday, the family described the EFCC’s action as scandalous, misleading and unfortunate and created the impression that Mr Ibru was on the run. They added that the businessman had earlier responded to the agency’s invitation for an interview on July 25. The family explained further that he was in the United Kingdom for medical treatment, but promised to honour the invitation on his return in the first week of November. They described the announcement by the EFCC as an indication of bias into an investigation of an issue that borders primarily on family misunderstanding, which they said the anti-graft agency was fully aware of. A publication on the anti-graft agency’s website had said Mr Ibru was declared wanted in connection with various crimes. The EFCC said Ibru allegedly “diverted billions of Naira and assets of Ikeja Hotels Plc, owners of Sheraton Hotel, Lagos, Federal Palace Hotel and Capital Hotel and owners of Sheraton Hotel, Abuja to his personal benefits”. source: channels...
