Walida Abdulhadi, the woman at the centre of the controversy over alleged abduction of a minor and relationship with an operative of the Department of State Services (DSS), for whom she birthed a baby girl, is 22 years old, Minister of Women Affairs, Hon. Imaan Sulaiman-Ibrahim, has confirmed.

The minister said the confirmation was on the heels of the verification of Walida’s birth records by the National Population Commission (NPC).

The Minister made the disclosure on Thursday in Abuja, on the heels of reports that the DSS on Wednesday night released Walida and her newly- born baby to the Governor of Jigawa State, Alhaji Umar Namadi.

GWG.ng reports that Walida was reportedly abducted from her home in Jigawa State and eventually found herself in Abuja and eventually was released through the involvement of a DSS operative named Ifeanyi with whom she eventually fell in love with and had a child for.

Addressing journalists shortly after holding a private session with Walida at the DSS headquarters, the minister said the Nigerian government is a signatory to several international laws and conventions protecting the life and rights of citizens, including women and children.

She stated that her ministry was aware of the threats to Walidi’s life, stressing, “her safety remains the overriding priority in all decisions concerning her.”

She stated, “Her continued stay in the custody of the Department of State Services has been voluntary, following credible threats to her life. Walida’s wellbeing has also been independently assessed by the Nigerian Medical Association, confirming that her health and safety are being appropriately safeguarded.”

On the issue of age, the Minister said, “Let me reaffirm that Walida’s age has been officially verified by the National Population Commission; she is 22 years old. By the provisions of the Child Rights Act and the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, a child is defined as anyone under 18 years.”

She continued, “The Federal Government, under the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, remains unwavering in its dedication to upholding the rule of law and safeguarding the rights and welfare of all citizens. I can see that from all available records, every action taken by the relevant institutions in this matter has been grounded in fairness, transparency, and strict adherence to the law.”

She affirmed that ” the Federal Government remains fully committed to justice, fairness, and the protection of all citizens, especially women and vulnerable persons. Let us all work together to uphold these principles for a safer, fairer, and more just Nigeria

“The coordinated efforts of the DSS, Walida’s family, civil society partners, and independent experts have been fully documented, jointly agreed upon, and directed toward one paramount goal: ensuring Walida’s safety, wellbeing, and dignity,” she stated.

She pledged that “the investigation will be formally concluded within the framework of Nigerian law, and its findings will inform any subsequent legal or administrative actions. Walida’s welfare, safety, and access to appropriate support services will continue to be assured.”

She is facing threats to her life from those who thinks it's forbidden for her to convert to Christianity and not like they were interested in protecting a minor as earlier mentioned.
For now she's a hostage who wants to go back to continue her life with Ifeanyi whom her family will not permit for them to get married because of his Christian faith.
She also mentioned that her boyfriend Ifeanyi the DSS Operative never converted her to Christianity as it was her personal decision to become a Christian.

She also doesn't want to go back home to her father as her uncle has threatened her with being sold into slavery and she is a victim of cruelty and abuse from her stepmother.

DSS should release Ifeanyi from detention since there's no proven case of abduction of a minor, it's simply 2 adults in a consensual relationshipm.

If they were truly in love and share a baby together, she will eventually go back to him. No amount of brainwashing will kill it. Things of the heart are mysterious.

...except they induce her with largesse. even at that, the girl should realize she's married and protect her home irrespective of any religion.

Stop posting AI picture.

heysquare come see what I was telling you. The facts of the matter are emerging. The parents forged a birth certificate issued in 2025 to make it look like the guy is sleeping with a minor.

Even the initial report on nairaland called the girl a minor. When FIDA spoke with the girl, they were shocked with the truth they discovered.

The only problem here is that the guy is a Christian and converted the girl to a Christian.
