Reacting, however, to critics of the man’s action considering the quoted age of the bride, one Kawu Garba noted on his timeline in response to a tweet, that the girl married to the Alhaji is a 200L undergraduate student of a State University.
According to him, the girl was initially married to someone but she was unhappy with the relationship and filed for a divorce in court.
“First, she’s an adult, a 200L undergraduate at a state university. Second, she was married initially to someone but said she wasn’t doing it and went as far as a court to file for divorce. She loved him and asked him to marry her. Kuma Allah ya halatta masa,” Garba wrote on Twitter.JAMB Result
