Katsina orphaned girl flees village over notorious bandit’s marriage threat [Video]

An 18-year-old orphaned girl, Amina Sulaiman, has fled her community in Dan Marke, Katsina State after her guardians agreed to a marriage proposal from a notorious bandit leader. The threat to burn down the entire village if the marriage was rejected underscores the danger faced by residents in vulnerable communities. Amina repeatedly rejected the marriage proposal, arguing she would rather die than marry the armed criminal.

Despite her guardians' fear of confronting the bandit, she was sent to communicate her rejection directly. She chose to remain alone rather than be forced into marriage with the bandit.
