Hajara Ahmad, a lady who got married to the younger brother to Abubakar Muhammad, late officer of the Nigerian air force (NAF), has said she was not forced into the marriage.
Hajara made headlines after she tied the knot with Sulaiman Muhammad, her late fiancé’s brother, on March 20, weeks after his death.
The deceased was said to have been among the NAF operatives killed during a gun battle with armed bandits at Ungwan Laya axis of Birnin Gwari, Kaduna state, on February 13.
His death had come three weeks to his wedding with Hajara.
In an interview with BBC Pidgin, the new bride said the marriage was initiated by her, adding that she was not forced into the union as rumoured in some quarters.
Hajara said the marriage has brought her joy, adding that she is currently enjoying the union.
“The truth is that the marriage was my choice. Nobody forced me into it or anything,” she said.
Hajara also disclosed that she still misses her late fiance, adding that she always prays for him.
“I cannot forget him (Abubakar) and I always pray for him” she added.
TheNewsGuru recalls that Sulaiman had earlier condemned the bashings trailing their marriage, explaining that the union had the support of both families.
“Both families supported what we did and that is the most important thing. It was even my friend that showed me some of the comments but that did not bother me at all because God has already bless our wedding…” he said.
