Drama As Bride’s Relative Steals Dowry In Kano
The relative of the bride who was responsible for giving out her hand in marriage (waliyyi) was accused of stealing the bride’s dowry just before the wedding Fatiha in the Kurna region of Dala LGA of Kano State, which led to some minor friction during the wedding ceremony.
According to the Daily Trust, when the dowry could not be located, individuals were left waiting for the wedding to take place. A search of nearby residents led to the discovery of the theft.
Sunusi Dan Mamman, a local, said:
During the search, the money was found inside the pocket of the waliyyi. who said he didn’t know how they got into his pocket.
