The wife of the Nigerian Air Force personnel who was killed in February has married his older brother. (Pictured left)

Late Abubakar was among the NAF personnel killed during a gun duel with armed bandits at Ungwan Laya near Birnin Gwari on Saturday, February 13. He was buried the next day.

His upcoming wedding, which he had celebrated on Facebook, was supposed to take place in March.

Yesterday March 20th, his bride married his older brother in Kaduna.

Lol

Nothing wrong here.

Nigerians from research might just be practically bitter.

In the month of February, a Nigerian soldier who was an Air Force personal, Muhammed Ahmad was killed by bandits 3 weeks to his wedding in Kaduna, Newspremises reports.


The Nigerian Soldier had earlier released his pre-wedding photos before he met his untimely death that brought sorrow and sadness to her family and the entire Air Force.


Newspremises gathered that he was among the six personnel that were killed by bandits in an ambush attack along Kaduna-Bien in Gwari Road.


In a recent development, the bride he was supposed to get married to has tied the knot with his older brother.


LindaIkeji reported on their verified Instagram page and even shared photos, stating that the young bride who was left heartbroken after the demise of his fiance has married the older brother of the late Soldier who died fighting for his country.


The soldier had earlier posted on Facebook, celebrating his yet-to-come wedding which was scheduled to hold in the month of March, but due to his demise, it was his older brother that married her instead.


Recall that Muhammed Ahmad was buried the following day in accordance to Muslim tradition and his legacy as a gallant soldier will live on.


Nigerians have reacted to the marriage of the bride to the deceased older brother, as majority said it was just too sudden, due to the fact that it is barely a month his brother died. Some said the man would have waited for the lady's heart to receive healing before getting married to her.

What

Could be tradition or the girls' decision, maybe she still wants to marry in the family just to honour his fiance memory.
Pls let's not be quick to judge or apportion blame

Nothing can justify this.


In Yoruba culture a widow can marry the brother of his late "husband" not his fiance. Tho the practice is archaic and I doubt if it is still being practiced.

But the fact is the said lady was just the fiancee of the late soldier, they are not married yet so why would she opt for his late fiance's brother.

That's wrong, obviously they had a thing for each other even before the soldier died, perhaps he was the one servicing her whenever the Soldier was away on State duty.

Even the late soldier would be disappointed wherever he is now.

She didn't have a thing for his brother. That girl is in denial and is looking for her dead fiancé in his brother. In her mind she is marrying her fiancé. She will regret it when she realises that he cannot be his brother.

It is sensible reasoning and common sense.
Common sense ain't common tho
