Nobody knew what time she left,&#8221; said Maweni\u2019s sister Veronica Meilu.<\/p>\n<p>All efforts to reach her on phone were all in vain as she had switched off her phone.<\/p>\n<p>Maweni later texted her sister with another number asking her to oversee the remainder of the ceremony.<\/p>\n<p>At that moment it became obvious to the elders and in-laws who had gathered for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2021\/03\/29\/gov-masaris-aide-slumps-dies-during-wedding-ceremony-in-katsina\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ceremony<\/a> realized that something was amiss.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I was not aware of my sister\u2019s plans, but here I was being put to task, to explain how we stole the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2021\/03\/12\/why-imo-ladies-are-not-getting-married-early-hon-kennedy-ibeh-reveals\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">dowry<\/a> and where my sister was,&#8221; said Meilu.<\/p>\n<p>As the leaders were contemplating reporting the &#8220;heist&#8221; to the police, Maweni called to explain why she took off.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;She asked me to put the phone on loudspeaker before revealing that the dowry &#8216;theft&#8217; was a plan she had hatched with the son-in-law before the ceremony,&#8221; Ms Meilu said.<\/p>\n<p>Maweni said that they switched the bag containing money with one that had wrappers.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yes, we counted the money together but we exchanged the bag containing money with that holding wrappers because the elders are not deserving of any gains from my daughter,&#8221; Anne Maweni said on phone.<\/p>\n<p>It also emerged that it was the son-in-law who left the ceremony with the bride price.<\/p>\n<p>Maweni defended her actions, recalling how her kinsmen abandoned her when her husband died, leaving her with two children, a five-year-old girl, and a two-year-old boy.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;After the demise of my husband, you sent me away with nothing but my daughter. You took my son away, and he later died in your hands. Then, you said that the community had no use for a girl child,&#8221; she told the elders on phone.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I have left you with female wrappers to wear since you did not stand for a widow, at her time of need,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>Ms Maweni, however, promised to send part of the dowry money to only one elder for his support during her tribulations and also standing in for her daughter\u2019s marriage ceremony.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Mzee Bajila, you are like a father to me and witnessed the atrocities against me. You fought for me in vain.
