I plan to marry her – Suspect
Since December 2023, the family of a teenager (name withheld), who was allegedly defiled by the head of Igala Community in Lagos, Muhammed Salifu, has been living through the kind of ordeal many parents dread, one that has left their family shattered and their daughter’s life forever changed.
Speaking with Sunday PUNCH, the mother of the teenager, Mrs Elizabeth Yakubu, recalled how the family first came to know the 58-year-old chief through her husband, who belonged to the same town union association as him.
At first, there was nothing to suggest that the relationship would take such a devastating turn.
According to Yakubu, in 2023, Salifu had asked about her daughter’s ambitions, wanting to know whether the teenager hoped to further her education or learn a trade.
