"I want the court to compel my father to allow me to marry the man I love and if he refuses, the court should do the needful," she said.
Responding to her claim, her father, Josiah, said he was not aware of her relationship with any man and was surprised when he received a court sermon.
He added that the supposed suitor never visited him to seek for her hand in marriage.
