Nigeria: Spinsters Flee to Barracks in Minna

Abstract

Free and single girls in Minna, the Niger State capital, earlier given a week’s ultimatum by the state’s Sharia Implementation Board to get married or quit the state, have invaded military and police barracks for refuge as the board commences a house-to-house search for them. The Post Express gathered in Minna that following the development, some of the girls have now resorted to squatting with unmarried soldiers and policemen in barracks where the board’s operations are restricted.
