A 21-year-old female Christian, Azurfa Lois John, amongst kidnapped passengers in the Kaduna-Abuja train attack is set to be married off by terrorist.
A former negotiator and media consultant to Islamic Scholar, Ahmed Gumi, Tukur Mamu, revealed this in a statement on Friday.
According to Mamu “one of the commanders is in love with her” and is planning to marry her any moment from now.
He further called on the federal government and the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) to immediately secure the release.
The statement disclosed that the terrorists are, “planning to marry her any moment from now”, as “they have done in the case of Leah Sharibu”.
Sharibu, a secondary school student was amongst the 110 girls abducted by members of the Islamic West African Province of the Islamic State (ISWAP) at the Government Girls’ Science and Technology College, Dapchi in Yobe State on February 19, 2018.
She was said to have been married off to one of their commanders, and to date, yet to return to her family.
Mamu said, “This important information should be treated with the urgency it deserves. Even though I know that releasing this information will not only unsettle her immediate family and loved ones but Nigerians as a whole, it is necessary to do so to avoid a repeat of Leah Sharibu’s case.
“I advise CAN in particular not to politicise this issue or reduce it to mere press releases as I have seen in the past, but to work closely with the relevant authorities to engage the abductors on her case as soon as possible before it is late.”
