Terrorist plans forceful marriage with 21-year-old victim

A terrorist commander is planning to marry forcefully one of the abductees of the Kaduna-Abuja train.

Tukur Mamu, a media consultant to terrorist sympathizer Sheik Ahmad Gumi, said this on Friday.

Mamu claimed to have been involved in the latest release of four victims by the kidnappers.

He identified the would-be bride as 21-year-old Azurfa Lois John, “the youngest victim of the train attack”.

Mamu, who publishes ‘Desert Herald’, called on the federal government and the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) to facilitate the release of Azurfa before the marriage goes through.

“This is to alert the federal government and especially the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) that I can confirm through credible information at my disposal that if urgent action is not taken to immediately secure the release of the youngest victim of the train attack, a 21-year-old Azurfa Lois John, the abductors as they have done in the case of Leah Sharibu, are planning to marry her any moment from now,” Mamu said.

“One of the top commanders is said to be in love with her. This important information should be treated with the urgency it deserves.

“Even though I know that releasing this information will not only unsettle her immediate family and loved ones, but Nigerians as a whole, it is necessary to do so to avoid the repeat of Leah Sharibu’s case.

“I advise CAN in particular not to politicise this issue or reduce it to mere press releases as I have seen in the past but to work closely with relevant authorities to engage the abductors on her case as soon as possible before it is late.

“I pray that in view of the uncertainties which are becoming alarming, the federal government will also act very fast to ensure the release of all the remaining victims.”
