Here is the translation of the provided Hausa text to English:

A fierce argument erupted among them, each one known for their temper. The main concern was their lack of understanding of what was happening. Even before they heard what she had done, they were determined to beat Nihal so severely that she would wish she had never crossed their paths.
Abubakar turned to look at them and said, "What do you think she did to anger Daddy and frighten Siyama so much that she couldn't even speak? Consider how obedient Siyama is to me; she knows I hate lies and secrecy, but she couldn't tell me anything. She was even willing to let me break up with her and call off the wedding rather than reveal what was happening. Isn't that a sign that something very serious is going on?"
Usman said, "I can't imagine what Nihal could have done to cause such an uproar. Look at how Daddy was speaking on the phone, almost stumbling and falling."
Mu'awiya said, "The phrase 'bring Nihal to me alive or dead' terrifies me."
Muhammad, with reddened eyes, looked at them and said, "Everyone, tell me what you think Nihal could have done to cause such chaos from London to Kano?"
Aliyu said, "Maybe she converted to Christianity and wants to marry a Christian. Otherwise, what else could cause such distress to Daddy and Mummy?"
They all responded in unison, "May God forbid. God protect us."
Hamza said, "Did she kill someone there?"
They all responded in unison, "We seek refuge in God. May God protect us."
Umar said, "God forbid she isn't pregnant out of wedlock. You know how dangerous it is for a woman to study abroad without a guardian."
Muhammad bit his lip and hit his head, saying, "No way. If our sister did any of these things, I swear I would kill her myself."
Abubakar said, "Whatever it is, they don't want to tell us, but I know one of the things we've guessed is true. Otherwise, what could upset Daddy and Mummy so much?"
"Mummy knows everything but is hiding it because the gravity of the sin is too great," Hamza said, tears filling his eyes.
Muhammad stamped his foot and said, "One of you should prepare; we're going to London to bring her back, as Daddy said, dead or alive. Both she and her friend Siyama will regret ever knowing us."
They all responded in unison, "I'll go, I'll go."
They spotted their father's car approaching. When he got out, they surrounded him.
"Welcome back, Dad," they said in unison.
He didn't respond but glared at them instead. He tried to push through them and continue on his way.
Muhammad said, "Daddy, we're in distress; we want to know what's happening."
Daddy replied, "You'll know if it gets worse," and continued on his way.
Abubakar jumped up and said, "Daddy, we have the right to know because she's our sister."
Daddy, angrily opening the living room door and about to enter, said, "I don't care about your relationship with her," and left them standing there.
Umar, angry, said, "Has this old man forgotten that we're grown-ups now? We're married men, no longer kids. He's still punishing and disciplining us like soldiers caught committing a crime."
Muhammad, enraged, said, "Wait here, I'm going to him," and went inside.
Shortly after, he came running out, and they anxiously asked if he was okay.
Gasping, he said, "Could you imagine he chased me with a gun?"
Aliyu burst into laughter, and they all yelled at him, "What's so funny?"
He said, "Daddy's reaction is what's amusing me."
This time, Abubakar quickly got into his car and drove off.
Muhammad looked at the others and said, "Everyone go home; we'll meet early tomorrow morning in the main living room."
After speaking, he got into his car and left.
Mu'awiya followed him in his car, while the others headed to their sections of the house as each had their own building within the compound.
Indeed! Nihal was right to say she'd rather disappear into a country of people with small eyes than face the judgment these men would mete out.
Major Abubakar called Engr Muqaddas, who informed him they were still at the airport waiting for Siyama's arrival. They had instructed immigration officers at Abuja Airport to prevent her from leaving. They even booked her a return ticket to Kano.
Abubakar told them he was on his way to the airport to wait for her arrival as well.
Good morning, Siyama Abba Muse!!!
They gathered early in the morning as the eldest brother had instructed. Before they could start talking, their father emerged, dragging his suitcase, which surprised them all.
"Daddy, good morning," they all said in unison, rushing to help with his suitcase.
"Get away from my suitcase," he said as he tried to leave the living room.
They stepped back, giving him space, unable to say another word. Habibu, the driver, quickly took the suitcase, put it in the trunk, and opened the back door for him. He got in and sat down.
Muhammad hurried over, held the car door, and bowed his head, saying, "Daddy, we've decided that two of us will go to London to check on Nihal."
