A bride identified as Khadija Abdullahi, sustained injuries in her eye after she was allegedly attacked during her wedding party last weekend, by vigilantes at Dantamashe town, Ungogo LGA of Kano State.

DailyTrust reports that eyewitesses claim the vigilante members were invited to stop the local party, also known as DJ, organized by the bride, which later generated controversy, and a stone that was hurled landed in one of her eyes.

They said some neighbors of the bride’s family called the attention of the vigilantes to the party, following a total ban on such gatherings by the community elders.

Recounting what transpired, the bride said

“We were busy with our party when I saw the vigilantes—about 10 of them coming. They started beating people, saying that the party would not hold. From there, I didn’t know what happened, I just found myself on a hospital bed with a wounded eye” she said.

On his part, the groom, Hamisu Bala, described the incident as a deliberate move to destroy their happiness and called on the authorities to fight for the rights of his bride.
