The family of Asta, the wife of the Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, has said that their daughter got married to the IGP publicly at the Sultan Bello Mosque, Kaduna.
Senator Isa Hamman Misau had on Wednesday on the floor of the Senate alleged that the IGP married Asta secretly in Kaduna after allegedly impregnating her.
But Nasiru Baba Saleh, a member of the family, told Daily Trust on telephone that Misau lied against their daughter and that he must prove the allegations in court.
"Truly, we're seriously angry, because this is a girl that grew up in a responsible way. She got a very good upbringing, and we married her out peacefully. We see no reason why this man will come publicly inside the chamber of the Senate to say the man impregnated her before he married her.
"What is his proof? This issue has gone viral on the social media. Both the mom and dad are crying. What kind of defamation is this? We have evidence. We have the pictures and everything. The Commissioner of Police and DC Operations were there. They all witnessed the wedding. The wedding was done publicly and marriage certificate was issued to them.
"We'll have to sue him on defamation of character of the girl and the family. We'll do that within the week. We'll file the matter, and we'll go with all the evidence, including invitation cards and everything.
He said Misau must come out to prove the allegation that Asta was married out with pregnant, saying "or was he the one that impregnated her, or who? He has to prove it.
"Is he trying to say that we gave her out in marriage with pregnancy? What's the position of that in Islam? It is not done in Islam. We just have to take action.
"We have all the evidence that the wedding was not done secretly. It held at the Sultan Bello Mosque, Kaduna where many people attended. The representatives of both families were present. The Commissioner of Police, Kaduna State, his deputy and others were there.
"We won't take the matter lightly. This is an act of defamation of character, and it won't go like that. We'll take him to court for defamation of character. Let him come and prove his allegations in court. We have already briefed our lawyers on this."https://www.dailytrust.com.ng/misau-lied-on-our-daughter-s-marriage-to-igp-asta-s-family.html

The northerners are our problem.

We are struggling to survive and these people are marrying more wives.

More money to embezzle for these women to enjoy.

Abokiii problem tire me

Nigerian Senate is a joke!!!

The question is not whether she was married secretly or openly. The question is this; "is Idris' marriage to the lady in line with extant police rules on marrying a female police officer?"

They should tell us when the baby was born and the date of the wedding, so we can calculate

like seriously ...this is just the least of the numerous problems Nigeria is battling....can u people just shut the hell up nd let us know which problem to face first

.

"Truly, we're seriously angry, because this is a girl that grew up in a responsible way.

You see, they are not even ashamed of themselves - a girl marrying her grandfather's age mate.

This people don't even get it that nobody is concerned whether the IG married their daughter or not we are just concerned if he truly married a junior ranking policewoman while in service which is against the code of the PSC and they just confirmed it

I only came to book space

It's all idleness. A married man who is busy won't have the time to acquire more wives

Yawns,stretches,and walks outta thread.Wetin concern me?

Ok

I'm watching

When junior officers are out fighting crime , oga is inside fighting on d bed. Abeg make dem solve their marriage palava jare...
