Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi, has called for the ban of child brides and under-18 marriages in Nigeria.
According to the former central bank governor, the era when people gave out their daughters in marriage at early ages and asked the husbands to wait till they were ripe was nothing but a deception.
That strategy no longer worked as it had led to cases of divorce and other ugly situations, he said.
He also called on the relevant authorities to create a law that would punish anybody that gave birth to children and allowed them to suffer.
According to him, most of those neglected children not only turned victims of social vices but also engage in terrorism.
