ANOTHER 15 YEAR OLD GIRL, RITA CHINEDU UKEJE, ABDUCTED, GIVEN OUT IN MARRIAGE BY ISLAMISTS

— 5th March 2016

Madam Jessy Ukeje, a 77-year-old grandmother from Eluoma Uzuakoli in Bende Local government area of Abia State, is in pains.

So also is her daughter, Joy Ihedinma Ukeje. Mama Jessy's granddaughter, (Joy's daughter) , 15, was allegedly abducted by Islamic fundamentalists and given out in marriage to one of their own.

Since then, the family has been in untold distress. Now, Mrs. Ukeje is calling on President Muhammadu Buhari to help rescue the girl from the clutches of her abductors.

Ukeje said her granddaughter was given out in marriage by a top official of Zaria City Local Government area, without the consent of her family.

Rita, an SS 3 student of Top Spring Secondary School, Zaria, Kaduna State, was abducted by a commercial bus driver, called Usman, who held her captive in his home, denying her the chance of sitting for the Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE) she had enrolled for.

Few weeks later, she stated, the council chief, who took her to his home and promised to make her available for settlement with the family, allegedly gave her out in marriage to Usman.

The incident happened in Damagaji area of Zaria in Kaduna State, even as every effort made by the family to rescue the teenage girl from the clutches of her abductors have met with stiff resistance from the kidnappers.
