The wedding between the duo which happened few days ago in Ozubulu, Ekwusigo Local Government of Anambra State, sparked outrage among Nigerians who vehemently condemned what they termed as ‘unholy’ union.

According a fresh report from an activist Prince Harrison Gwamnishu, the demented man Igwilo is said to be a businessman based in Lagos.


The commissioner Ministry of Women and Child Welfare Anambra State, Nigeria Police Anambra command and other concerned Nigerians have waded into the matter to rescue the teenage girl from the marriage.

Meanwhile, the young girl has been handed over to Ministry of Women and Child Welfare in Anambra State.
