Kano bride-to-be was not kidnapped – Police

Kano State Police Command has said Amina Gwani Danzarga, the bride-to-be who earlier went missing, was not kidnapped.

The Police Public Relations Officer in the state, DSP Abdullahi Haruna Kiyawa, told Daily Trust the lady went into hiding because she did not want the wedding to hold.

He said the lady had planned the whole idea and disappeared, making her parents and her suitor believe she was kidnapped a few hours to the wedding.

Kiyawa added that for the days the girl spent in hiding, she went to many places to achieve her plan.

“Investigation is ongoing to trace all the places she stayed and the phone calls she made during her four days in hiding,” he said.

He said that, as part of the police mandate to protect people’s lives, the command took the girl to the hospital to crosscheck her health condition.
