Former Zamfara State governor, Ahmed Sani, Yeriman Bakura, has married a thirteen-year-old Egyptian girl. LEADERSHIP WEEKEND learnt that the marriage took place at the national mosque, Abuja, two weekends ago. The former governor, now a senator, paid a bride price of $100,000, the equivalent of roughly N15m. He also divorced one of his wives to facilitate the marriage. In Islam a man is only permitted to have four wives. Yeriman, who popularised the Shariah code of Islam in Nigeria, could not have the wedding in Egypt; the Egyptian authorities would not put up with such a marriage as their laws forbid that sort of union. Yariman Bakura is well into his 60s and the laws in Egypt consider his bride a minor.

The former helmsman of Zamfara State, however, in a deft move relocated the venue of the event to Nigeria, where he believes “anything goes”, said a source. The marriage was held in Abuja. The bride moved 30 members of her family over to Abuja where they were lodged in PROTEA Hotel in Asokoro.

An Islamic cleric who spoke to LEADERSHIP WEEKEND said that the whole thing goes counter-cause to Islam. He said that though there were no limits to how much can be paid as bride price, Islam still preaches moderation. According to him, the former governor flouted this caveat. Besides, said the cleric, Yeriman being a public office holder, should not have made such an ostentatious show of wealth.

Those who attended the wedding in Abuja include Sen. Kabiru Gaya, Maina Maaji Lawal, deputy governor of Zamfara State, Mukhtar Hanka, and the Emir of Bakura.

Even the Arabs who consider themselves superior to negroes in the practise of islam rejected the pervert's attempts to defile their land. 13 year old girl can you believe it ? It is common for the less educated almajiris to practise such rubbish but you would expect the ones who they worship to be more sane regarding such matters.

Hmm, not really , its even worse in the Arab lands.

Remember Muhammad married a 6 year old and consumated the marriage at 9.

Its a common occurence in the Arab world even now I can show you evidence. I mean Islamic Arab world.

Re: Senator Marries 13 Yr Old Girl by blackmann(m): 1:01pm On Mar 27, 2010
These are the kind of pple that give Islam a bad name. because the Qur'an says a man can marry up to 4 wives  if you can luv them all equally and if u can cater for them equally doesn't mean u shld go as far as marrying your grand-daughter's age mate. these are pple those pple in his state will look up to and emulate. later we'll be hearing of 10 year-old brides.

Re: Senator Marries 13 Yr Old Girl by naijamini(m): 1:06pm On Mar 27, 2010
If this turns out to be true, then he needs to be recalled by his constituency or needs to be chased away from the National Assembly.

This kind of behavior has got to stop!

This is unbelievable. Only God knows the kind of ordeal the little girl will go through. How does someone get applauded for doing something like this? Is this very different from paedophilia?
Re: Senator Marries 13 Yr Old Girl by Devonian(m): 2:08pm On Mar 27, 2010
These are the sorts of people running Nigeria: peadophiles and s-e-x offenders. And, what's the source of Yariman Bakura's wealth that he can afford to splash $100,000 on bride price only, when millions of nigeria are living on lessons than $1.00 a day. I've said it for the umpteenth time, all past and current Nigerian leaders should be deceptively assembled (e.g. invited for a crucial meeting to address Nigeria's problems) and summarily executed/eliminated, Jerry Rawlings style
Re: Senator Marries 13 Yr Old Girl by lannre(m): 2:22pm On Mar 27, 2010

Re: Senator Marries 13 Yr Old Girl by Dominoifet(m): 2:34pm On Mar 27, 2010
He should have married a foetus. A central pervert and reprobate mind. 13yrs old for wife!!!There is more to this than meet the eyes and I'm seeing this as a sacrifice for something.

Afterall he has a mentor in mohammed who did more perverted things all for peace. How wonderful.

Re: Senator Marries 13 Yr Old Girl by ElRazur: 3:02pm On Mar 27, 2010
@blackman

In order to address the issue of child abuse and paedophilia, you quoted a text from quran that basically gives man the right to use women for their sexual needs? The joke is on you and Islam.

Yes u r right but there is much to it. They aint going nowhere. They r sitting with mohammed on the mat in around year 600AD. The guy is dead he never conceived a modern life, so how do u envisaged they fit into a modern life? Unless by some other means quran changes, u and I both know that is IMPOSSIBLE

Can't u see all the happenning centered around islam, al qaeda, hamas, hezballah, farouk, jos crisis, two Nigerians muslim students deported two weeks ago from malaysia that have connection with al qaeda/farouk. Its endless.

Ask a muslim, if he is willing to tell u d truth, whether he has peace. NO they don't, but it is a religion of peace. Until they commit one havoc or the other. It is d curse of Ishmael

Only in Nigeria can a self-avowed child molester not only avoid jail for statutory r/ape , but also occupy "elected" office and strut about boasting of his sick crime with the soaring pride of a madman.
