Sani Dauda, a former chairman of
Peugeot Automobile Nigeria, Limited, who was arrested for consenting to his
daughter’s alleged illegal marriage has been released.
Nasiba, his daughter, confirmed
this development on Thursday.
The release followed an order
from the Kaduna state high court, where the case is being heard.
Nasiba on Tuesday said her family was being targeted for her refusal to remain in a legally dissolved
marriage with Abubakar Musa, her ex-husband whom she said is a childhood friend
of Mohammed Adamu, inspector-general of police (IGP).
“I don’t know why the IG is
making this a criminal offence. I know my ex-husband is a childhood friend of
the IG and he was also instrumental in his appointment as IG, but if the IG
wants him married, he should marry off his own daughters to him,” she said.
In a suit with number
KDH/KAD/982/2019, Dauda asked the court to restrain the IGP from detaining him
or arresting his daughter.
ML Muhammed, the judge, granted
Dauda bail and two others arrested with him. He also restrained the IGP from
“taking any steps inimical to the determination of the motion on notice”.
The case was adjourned till
November 19.
Nasiba said she ended her
marriage to Musa owing to physical and emotional abuse. She said her ex-husband
assaulted her in ways no one could imagine.
In January, 2018, a Sharia court
in Kaduna dissolved the marriage and ordered that Nasiba be allowed to exit her
ex-husband’s residence.
