A former Peugeot Automobile Nigeria (PAN) Chairman, Alhaji Sani
Dauda, popularly known as ASD who was arrested by the police for
allegedly giving his daughter out in marriage has been released
after two nights in detention.
Also, the Magajin Gari Shari’ah court khadi, who consummated the
marriage Multala Nasir Almistry and the son of ASD were all
released on Wednesday, our reporter learnt.
Recall that they were arrested on Monday and detained at the
Special Anti-Robbery Squad office of the Kaduna State Police
Command.
One of the family members of ASD, who didn’t want to be
mentioned, confirmed his release to our reporter on Thursday. “Yes
they were released on Wednesday but we will made official comment
soon,” he said.
Our reporter also gathered that on Tuesday the High Court in
Kaduna gave an order for the three persons to be released from
detention on bail.
One of the counsels to ASD, Barrister Maxwell Kyon, who address
newsmen in Kaduna, said the police authorities were served with the
court order restraining them from further arresting his clients and
described the action of the police as unfortunate, saying it’s only
in Nigeria things like this happen.
“The order is hereby granted restraining the respondents, the
Inspector General of Police and the Kaduna State Commissioner of
Police from taking any steps inimical to the determination of the
motion on notice.
“The order of injunction was also granted by the court
restraining the respondents from arresting, detaining or in any
other manner infringing on the rights of 4 (ASD’s daughter) and 6
(Nusaiba’s new husband) applicants in respect to this matter
pending the determination of the motion on notice,” he said.
He exonerated his clients from any wrongdoing, saying the
daughter (Nusaiba) was already divorced before she remarried and
had her divorced certificates from a Sharia court in Tudun
Wada.
It could be recalled that ASD and two others were arrested at
the instance of his daughter’s estranged husband who kicked against
her new marriage.
