Police arrest Islamic cleric who raped 16-year-old then claimed she’s his wife

, published how Mr Abdulrahman raped the victim, a student of his Islamic school in Ede, a town in Osun State.

“Barely four days after I joined the Islamic school, he asked me to marry him but I said my studies will be affected and that he is too old for me even if I want to marry anyone at all,” the victim told this medium.Section 21 of the Child Rights Act states that “No person under the age of 18 is capable of contracting a valid marriage, and accordingly a marriage so contracted is null and void.”

“After he was detained, his lawyer came around and two lawyers from the side of the victim were also present,” a police source said. “The police said they would file a lawsuit as soon as possible.”In an interview with this reporter, Abdulrasheed Maisolati, the victim’s lawyer, confirmed the arrest of the suspect.

“In fact, this morning, a woman called me and was asking if it is not too late for her to write a petition against the same man of what he did to her two years ago.” Several calls and text message sent to the police spokesperson in the state, Folashade Odoro, were not responded to.Since PREMIUM TIMES published the story of the rape, many Nigerians have expressed outrage and called for the suspect’s trial.

Trust me this is where it ends.Muslim religion permits child marriage at the end of the day this cleric will end up 'marrying' this girl as he claims.That's islam for you.Women respect is zero.THIS ARREST IS JUST A SHOW

Thank you premium time... Great job over the years... I wish you guys continue

You will never be off with your self

But make guys they try ask girls out politely now, some guys don't even realize how easy it is to get into a woman's pants. No need to rape her. askpolitely, if u get a 'No' ask another. There are many fishes in the river, one of that is designed for your hook alone.

Thank God!!

Good

Lovely.... That's the way to go!

Please kindly charge him and set an example it's becoming too much all this so called head of mosque or church

The COZA pastor will be next.

I hope the COZA pastor apologists will allow us hear word now. Lol.

Boko haram cleric. If the investigator of the said evil act is well trained, he will later realize that the acclaimed Muslim preacher is a confirmed member of boko haram information network.

I do not get this, if the police can so swift in arresting the Islamic cleric, why hasn't Biodun atleast been invited for interrogation? AishaYesufu DrJoeAbah Ayourb

rozirozay My advice still remains, If your joy-stick is your weakest point, cut-it-off and have peace and quietness. 🤷‍♀️

AbadaEfeJulius - hmmm!

They will claim not to see this now. There are things you don't dare as a Muslim, adultery carries death penalty.

So he thinks raping his wife is morally right? Rot in jail old man.

this may not really trend. it's too common to make wives out of minors THERE.

Next?
