An unidentified thief stole the bride price from the pocket of the groom’s representative during a wedding solemnization at a popular Jumuat Mosque in Kano immediately after Friday prayers.
The Chief Imam of Uthman Bin Affan Jumuat Mosque in Kano, located inside the ancient city, Sheikh Aliyu Yunus, discovered the theft when he invited the groom’s representative to present the bride price and found it missing.
The stolen bride price picked from the grooms representative pocket is one hundred thousand Naira .
An impeccable source told NIGERIAN TRACKER that the groom’s representative had to apologize and ask the Imam to tie the knot, promising to source another sum to replace the stolen bride price.
It’s agreed in Islam that when tying the knot between couples, a bride price can be delayed in the form of Nakd (instant payment) and Ajl (delayed payment)
