An Arabic teacher in Gombe state has ended up in police custody for planning to marry her eldest son's friend. The union has been opposed by both her children and the siblings of her late husband.

According to the Daily Trust newspaper, Hussaina Abba, who teaches Arabic at a primary school in Gombe, earlier sued her late husband’s siblings and her children before a court for opposing her planned marriage.

She explained that since the death of her husband she had not received any marriage proposal until this young man arrived at the seen and treated her with care and love.

But her family objected to the union claiming the man is of questionable character, and that he had threatened to kill the younger sister of his mother’s friend for refusing to sleep with him.

Hussaina plea that her planned marriage broke no laws fell on deaf ears as the judge ordered that both her and her suitor be remanded in custody until 26 September 2017.
