Breaking: All Marriages conducted by the Ikoyi Marriage Registry are illegal and Invalid. by Stanley Alieke, Esq. There have been a legal brawl between some Local government Areas of Nigeria against the Federal government simply for the determination of who have the power to operate marriage registries, conduct marriages and issue marriage certificates. Statutorily, the Local governments are the ones empowered to conduct marriages and issue marriage certificates, for this reason, the LGAs have insisted that their powers to register marriages which is statutorily provided are being usurped by the Federal Government through the Ministry of Interior. The Eti Osa LOcal Government Area of Lagos state took the Ministry of Interior and Attorney General of the Federation to court in suit no.: FHC/ LS/CS/816/18 between Eti-Osa LGA & 3 others v. Hon. Minister of Interior & 2 others (Federal High Court, Ikoyi Judicial Divaion), where the accused Federal Ministry of Interiors of usurping the Local Governments power to operate marriage registries, conduct marriages and issue marriage certificates. The prayed the court to declare that the federal government have no business in the conduction of marriages and issuing marriage certificates and order the closure of all marriage registries opened and operated by the federal ministry of interior or through their agents including that of the Ikoyi registry. The case lingered but recently, the federal High court sitting in Ikoyi held in the favor of the Eti osa local government and granted their prayers. The court held that conduct of marriages and issue of certificate is statutorily the job of the local governments as provided by the law and only the local governments have the power to do such and the acts of the federal government through the ministry of interior operating marriage registries is clearly beyond their powers. The court further held that all marriages conducted by federal marriage registries or through their agents are illegal and invalid and the federal high court also ordered for the closure of all federal marriage registries including that of Ikoyi marriage registry with immediate effect. Stanley Alieke, Esq. Managing Partner, Stanley Alieke & Co. infoitooknow@gmail.com A Nigerian High Court sitting in Lagos, has declared that it was unconstitutional for the federal government to conduct marriages, declaring as illegal and invalid, for example, all solemnisation of unions at the Ikoyi marriage registry, Lagos.https://www.arise.tv/all-marriages-conducted-at-ikoyi-registry-illegal-nigeria-court-says/ 9 Likes 1 Share

Since FG fail to heed the call for restructuring through constitutional amendment, folks are now using judicial means to achieve their rights being suppressed by the hegemony sitting in Abuja. Last, last, local and state governments will render some dictatorial contents of the tyrannic 1999 constitution useless through the judiciary. The 1999 document is tyrannic, satanic, oppressive, retrogressive, archaic and complacent that empowers Abuja at the detriment of our collective progress. However, will this court judgement invalidate all the precious marriages conducted by the registry? 80 Likes 3 Shares |

I don't think they know the implications of what they are saying. The court should have put a time frame. May be effectively from January 1 2022. Ikoyi Marriage Registry should stop conducting marriage. 81 Likes 1 Share |

Praxis758:Yes. The marriages conducted there never happened as the documents signed are not valid. I think what is needed now is just for people to walk to their local government, pay and have the documents validated. If not, they are very single, maybe married under common law or traditional law 34 Likes 3 Shares |
