The Minister for Women Affairs, Uju Kennedy-Ohaneye, has denied withdrawing a court case challenging the planned mass marriage of 100 orphaned girls in Niger State.
Contrary to earlier reports suggesting that the minister had retracted the suit against Abdulmalik Sarkindaji, the Speaker of the Niger State House of Assembly, Kennedy-Ohanenye via the ministry’s X page on Friday clarified that the suit was intact.
