Why did he marry her against her parents wish? What if they decide to use spiritual means against him, it's too risky

will de parents be de ones to live. Wit de husband de rest of dere lives? Wat if dey brought her up? Is it not dere responsibility for bringing her into dis world?. If she tinks she will be happy wit de poor guy, is it not her choice?.. I dey vex sef

Igobang:
I support the arrest. If the parents of the girl never cared for her, he will not find her fit to marry.

So Y show disrespect to her family and particularly her parents. Courtesy demands that u go for introduction and let the parents know who is marrying their daughter. WTF!

Thankfully, social media has been able to play a significant role in the life of the couple as Nono posted an update on Facebook today saying that her husband has been released following all the pressure.

She posted:


It is with profound gratitude to all those who supported me and my husband at these trying times that I announce to you that my husband was released last night along with Dr Kingsley who witnessed my marriage at the Ikoyi Registry. When I first put up this on social media, many people who didn’t know the scary situation I found myself viewed it with disdain. I can understand it since it was viewed as a family affair and should remain so. Frankly, that was my thought before things went sour. My fear and apprehension of what was to come led me to cry out. Threats of deaths and arrests began to fly around in a supposedly family affair and indeed the threat of arrest was effected. My husband was arrested at LUTH, by the Dolphin Police, for marrying me at Ikoyi Registry without my parents’ consent. On a good day, that is not proper but only a few open-minded people asked why. He was later transferred to the dreaded Panti Police Station the following day. After he was led to Panti, someone went to Dolphin Police Station to look for him but was informed that no such person was ever brought there. That sent shivers to my marrow because we got information that my husband will be killed and disposed of. Why my lawyers were waiting to see him at Panti, he was led away through the back door and the men at the counter informed my lawyers that no one like my husband was brought there. I later discovered that he was led to the hospital where I worked and to the house of my in-laws to search for me. It was not until late last night that the leadership of the police force ordered for his unconditional release and safe dispatch to our residence. I once again say thank you to all those who were part of this effort. My friends and some extended family members, people on social media who trended the news, the press, my lawyers, people who called from all over the world wanting to know what was going on. It was during this ordeal that one of my international callers informed me that just a couple of days ago, a Kurdish woman called Shilan was shot dead in Germany for refusing to marry someone who was forced on her. May the soul of Shilan rest in peace. My case is no different. While Shilan was 22 years, I am 28 years. That makes it sound ridiculous even to the ears of a deaf man that I will be forced to marry a man named Stanley, a man who had categorically stated to me that he wasn’t interested again, but for the prodding of my father, Dr Ejike. This cause is no longer about me, it is now about thousands or perhaps millions of girls and women across the world who are forced to marry the wrong people, about the police force who compromise and inflict injustice to innocent people and most painfully, about people who keep quiet when evil triumph. The sequence of this story dealt a ruthless blow to the global movement for the rights of women. The District Police Officer who arrested my husband is a woman, the Investigating Police Officers in Panti Police Station are women who failed in doing the right thing in the course of their duty. It is very unfortunate. As I continue my consultations with stakeholders all around the world who reached out to me on the way forward to fight this evil practice of forced union, I once again say thank and God bless.

With someone of your reasoning amongst the younger generation of Nigerians, I wonder how many more generations it would take to flush you all out. Do I need to explain the folly of your talk? Nigeria is a jungle

Some people do not see past their nose, if today you allow someone, anyone to arrest an innocent citizen who has NOT broken the law, tomorrow, I can order your arrest for this nonsense statement you made below and 28 Nairalanders will upvote my comment detailing the injustice I have done to you!!.

I went through her Facebook page, she got 3kids for the Ugo guy

luvbeloved:
The girl is already a woman naa...so the case doesn't hold any water. 28 year old na serious adult be that o! Unlike guys from 'you know where' who kidnap teens to covert/marry

Nigerian police are foolish, They just wants to collect money from the woman's parents knowing fully well that the man will be released unconditionally. Police will tell if your neighbor insults you give am dirty slap, Because if you didn't fight with your friends and neighbors money will not come to their station.I was at the station two days ago, police station Na pure business center.
