A self-proclaimed marabout, Auwalu Haruna, has been arrested over allegation that he abducted his friend’s wife and impregnated her.
This is according to Punchng.
It reported further that the Yobe Police Command has launched probe into the matter after Haruna allegedly hypnotised his friend’s 20-year-old wife and fled the Northeast state with her to Kano.
Quoting Dungus Abdulkarim, the spokesperson for the state police command, the publication wrote: The suspect is just like a marabout, he does rituals for people. So, he allegedly forced her to drink a certain medical concoction that made her fall in love with him, then he eloped with her to Anguwan at Kano.
“The abduction case was reported to the Tarmuwa Divisional Police Headquarters by her father, who alleged it was Mallam Haruna who perpetrated it. After thorough research, the command operatives arrested him in Kano with the girl, whom he had already impregnated. It was medically confirmed that she was two months pregnant.
“The case is still under investigation at the Yobe SCID, and you know there are processes. After we are done, we still have to transfer his file to the Yobe State Ministry of Justice. The ministry, which is our counterpart, will now go through the file and vet it.”
