A fresh controversy has broken out in Zaria, Kaduna State, over alleged ‘abduction’ of a ’15- year old’ school girl, Ifeoma Nicodemus.
Her teacher father, Nicodemus Odugusi, said she was ‘abducted’ on September 14, 2014, when she was 14 and had since been held against her will for the past 18 months by one Shehu Abdullahi, who runs an Islamic school in the Samaru area of Zaria.
But the police denied Ifeoma was abducted, saying her parents were merely twisting the story.
Mr. Abdullahi too said he did not abduct or marry Ifeoma, saying he was merely keeping custody of her based on the order of a court.
Ifeoma also told PREMIUM TIMES that she was never abducted by anyone, describing Mr. Abdullahi as a father figure to her.
Ifeoma is from Ebonyi State in South-East Nigeria, but her parents are resident in Zaria, and at the time of her alleged abduction, was a student of Total Child Bible Secondary School in Samaru, Zaria.
Speaking to PREMIUM TIMES on telephone from Zaria, human rights lawyer, Ezekiel Dyagas, said Ifeoma has been held against her will for the past 18 months in the home of Mr. Abdullahi.


He said that when the girl was traced to the home of the Islamic teacher by her family, Mr. Abdullahi simply told them he had duly married the 14-year-old after converting her to Islam.
But Mr. Abdullahi denied ever making any such remark, saying he was already married and could not have claimed to have taking Ifeoma as wife.
In a telephone interview with PREMIUM TIMES, Ifeoma’s father, Mr. Odugusi, said he had been in agony since his daughter was taken away from him.
Mr. Nicodemus, a schoolteacher, lamented that the most painful part of it all was “that he knows where his daughter is being kept but is powerless against the forces that are holding her hostage”.
Narrating his ordeal, Mr. Odugusi said on September 14, 2014 when his daughter did not return home, he searched everywhere for her.
He said the following day, September 15, 2014, he received a call from a school in Zaria informing him that his missing daughter was with them; that she had converted to Islam and was now married to Mr. Abdullahi.
The embattled father said for the last 18 months, he had been engaged in a lone fight with Mr. Abdullahi who he said mocked every attempt to free Ifeoma from his captive.
Mr. Nicodemus said Ifeoma was in SS2 at the time of her alleged abduction, and that he reported the matter to the Samaru Police Station in Zaria and subsequently got a lawyer to file a case of abduction in court.
“I am a schoolteacher, so you can imagine my pains at watching another man truncates your child’s education,” Mr. Nicodemus said. “I have been to the Police; I have been to the Court and all the court said fell on deaf ears as far as Alhaji Shehu Abdullahi is concerned.”
The lawyer, Mr. Dyagas, said he suspected conspiracy in Ifeoma’s case, saying he had since found that the proceedings of the case against Mr. Abdullahi was not recorded.
But in his reaction, Mr. Abdullahi said it was Ifeoma herself who approached a Sharia court asking to be converted to Islam.
He said following her conversion, the court ordered him to keep custody of her after she stubbornly refused to return to her parents.
He said the police was called in to persuade her to return to her parents, but she refused especially after her father threatened that she would not be allowed to practice Islam in his home.
“We even engage people close to her family to persuade her to return to her parents, but stood her ground. So I pleaded with her parent to be patient while we continue to try to reconcile her with them.


“I was the one who called the attention of her parent, and asked them to come and take her home, but she refused to follow them.”
The Divisional Police Officer in charge of Samaru, where the case was first reported, said the problem was not with Mr. Abdullahi, but with Ifeoma.
“She converted herself to Islam, and then refused to return home,” the DPO, who refused to give his name, said. “We intervened here, the commissioner of police intervened, and three times she ran away from her parents. The court then handed her over to Mallam Shehu and co. for custody.
“One day, we brought her to the station, and asked her parents to take her away. She refused. She said she preferred to be detained in our station rather than go home with her parents. We couldn’t keep her in the station because if she disappears, the commissioner of police will hold us responsible.
Ifeoma corroborated the police’s version of the matter, insisting that she was not abducted.
Her parents said she is 15, but Ifeoma claimed she is almost 19.
“I’m married now, not to Mallam Shehu but to someone else,” she said. “My parents are aware, and my sister recently came to my house. I just don’t wan’t to go home because I can’t live with my parent anymore.”
She warned a PREMIUM TIMES reporter not to refer to her as Ifeoma anymore.
“My name now is Aisha, and that’s what you should call me,” she said

Point of correction Ese was abducted in August 2015 so she was 13 years old at the time she left home. At that age she has no mind of her own and can easily be deceived. Therefore Yinusa took advantage of her innocence and vulnerability.

ChokolateBoss:
Eloping with a minor and having carnal knowledge of him/her, with or without his/her consent, is a serious crime. Whether people have been doing it or not still does not justify d crime. Read ur constitution and stop displaying ur abysmal ignorance online.

If Yunusa's conscience was clear, why didn't he tell d girl's parents he was eloping with her daughter? Y do it secretly?

Worse still, u're blaming d mother 4 improper home training. U must be a goat. I pray some day a paedophile elopes with ur under-aged child for months, phuck her mercilessly and when he's caught, I hope u also hire a lawyer to defend him and then blame urself for not training ur daughter well. Say Amen to that.

peacengine:
Good, then he is guilty of dating a 13 years old, kidnapping, raping a minor, changing her religion, and marrying her without her parent' consent. He is a rapist and kidnapper. Between what was the girl doing in the emir's Palace and why did they refuse to release her to get parents, this is called unlawful incarceration by the emir... The paedophile

Quakertellicus1:
I like the points you made,and I think that there is more to the story.

Having said that, the laws of this country tend to look unfavourably on the ''defilement of minors''.Ese may have eloped with Yunusa.....but that does not mean that they should be having relations.....especially since Yunusa is clearly above 18 years.

I don't buy into the ''Northerners abducting Southern girls'' conspiracy......but that does not make Ese getting pregnant for her lover right.

zicoraads:
Which one is 'He should not be treated with disrespect?' And how on earth will be 14-year-old child be matured enough to understand what 'eloping' with a 25-year-old will do to her life?

This region is very backward walahì! Even the so called educated ones will astound you with their foolish thoughts.

Oma307:
Pls dont distract the present government by creating tension on them on who is going to be the flagbearers for the opposition party cause the govt is up to do some incredible things for this great nation. We can exercise patient till a year before the election, for now lets think how to end the queue in our petrol station.



Pls nobody should quote me if not amadioha will ........

I'm an Igbo man. Could you explain the 50,000 of my people who were massacred in cold blood all over the North in 1966 by the northern oligarchy that is controlled by the Hausa/Fulani Caliphate of Sokoto?

BeClever:
I love the way you jump I to defend yours, but you must acknowledge the Evil precedents set by the ruling authorities now in their quest for power which has now become the base for all these recent remarks.

Fulani's boy being cowards should mean that every other tribe and regions of this country should eat your shiit and not complain about it.. Right?
