As one of the daughters of President Muhmmadu Buhari, Hanan, was today given out in marriage to Mohammed Turad Sha’aban, in a private ceremony at the Aso Villa, Abuja, it took many police officers several hours of persuasion to convince a young man not to commit suicide over his disappointment to hook the young damsel.
The ceremony, which was reportedly strictly on invitation, was conducted in the court yard of the Villa, away from the eye of the media.
But the mother of the bride, First Lady Aisha Buhari, gave clues of the event by Friday afternoon when she posted three pictures of what looked like pre-wedding activities of the couple on her Instagram page with the inscription ‘#HamadForever Alhamdulilah’.
The groom, Mohammed Turad, is the son of a former lawmaker, Hon Sani Sha’aban and a Special Adviser to the Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fasola.
But Abba Ahmad, the young man who planned suicide over his inability to marry the president's daughter, Hanan, finally dropped the idea after a counselling session with the Police.
Ahmad, 22, a businessman and 400-year Accounting student of the North West University, Kano now Yusuf Maitama Sule University, has been sending marriage proposals to Hanan on Facebook and Instagram.
Abba, whose father died in 2013, told The Nation he had been thrilled by Hanan’s beauty and educational qualifications.
Twenty-two-year-old Hanan is a graduate of Photography from Ravensbourne University, England.
“I am in love with her (Hanan Buhari) because of her beautiful face, her level of education and integrity of her father (Buhari).
“I tried informing her but I don’t know whether the messages got to her,” Ahmad said.
He posted he would commit suicide if Hanan wedded another man on Friday.
When The Nation asked why he would die because of a woman, he said: “I just said it.”
Kano police spokesman, Abdullahi Haruna, said the police in Kano, at the prompting of Frank Mba, invited Ahmad to the Command Headquarters where he was persuaded not to commit suicide.
Police Commissioner Habu Sani and a Police Imam also counselled him.
Police spokesman Frank Mba spoke with Ahmad on telephone for 6 minutes, 6 seconds, convincing him not to commit suicide even if he did not marry the President’s daughter.
He was told he could marry another beautiful woman and reminded his religion preaches against suicide.
After dropping his suicidal plans, Ahmad, who thanked the Police, expressed desire to join the Force because of the “friendly manner” the Police treated his case.
Police Commissioner Sani advised him to apply for next police recruitment.
