- A Facebook user identified as Aliyu Umar recently shared photos of an aged man tying the knot with an underage girl in Niger state
- The groom identified as Alhaji Yakubu (Nafsi-Nafsi) apparently paid pieces of kola-nut as bride price in exchange for the young girl
- Many social media users have reacted to the photos, stating that the practice is child abuse and should be stopped immediately
Reports gathered claim that a 70-year-old man identified as Alhaji Yakubu (Nafsi-Nafsi) married an underage girl in Lapai local government area of Niger state on December 10. A certain Facebook user in the name of Aliyu Umar shared the photos on his page and congratulated Alhaji Yakubu for successfully marrying the young girl who many are claiming is barely 15 years of age.
The photos have sparked outrage on social media with many internet users condemning the rather abominable act which shouldn't be praised or even allowed to happen in 2018. There's been many cases of child abuse and child marriage leading to deaths of either the victims or the perpetrators.
Recently, many Nigerians mourned the untimely death of 13-year-old Ochanya Obanje who was a victim of abuse for many years perpetuated by her uncle and his son. Ochanya died as a result of complications from Vesicovaginal fistula (VVF).
The unidentified young girl was pictured with her new husband who is evidently an aged man. From the photos, it appears that her bride price included several pieces of kola-nut which was counted by some of the men present at the inauspicious occasion.
Here's how Aliyu Umar congratulated the groom on his marrying the young girl below:
