Woman Refusing Marriage to Terrorist Leader Who Killed Her Husband, ask for help

A young widow identified as Nanbam has publicly appealed for help after receiving death threats from the terrorists who killed her husband. Nanbam’s husband was among the 40 people killed in an August attack in the Mushere community of Bokkos Local Government Area, Plateau State.

Nanbam, a mother of three, narrated her ordeal to the global NGO, “Equipping the Persecuted,” stating that the killers are forcing her to marry one of their leaders.

She described the brutal attack where her husband was killed: “My husband was k!lled along with 39 other people when the bandits invaded our village in August. They surrounded the village and k!lled our people mercilessly. In my husband’s case, they cut open his body and removed his heart before throwing him into a pond,”.

She revealed the terrorists called her on the very day they murdered her husband. “In fact, the very day they k!lled my husband, they used his number to call me to say that their leader wants to marry me. I was shocked at what they said after k!lling him,”. Nanbam refused the demand: “I thought they were joking and I told them that over my dead body will I marry someone who k!lled my husband and the father of my children,”.

The threats have been relentless. She said, “They call me every day, using different numbers and have been threatening to k!ll me and my children if I keep refusing to marry their boss and convert to Islam since I am still a young woman,”.
