A mathematics teacher in a secondary school in the Aguata Local
Government Area of Anambra State, Chiadikobi Ezeibekwe , has married his
17-year -old sister , claiming that God told him to do so.
Speaking with our correspondent on Saturday , Ezeibekwe said he had a
revelation where God told him to marry his sibling .
The teacher quoted
Bible passages in
Deuteronomy to
illustrate that
siblings could marry
each other.
He said , “ One
advantage of doing
this is that it
discourages divorce .
It also retains family
values and norms . ”
SUNDAY PUNCH
gathered that the
wedding was conducted by Chiadikobi’ s elder brother, Chijioke Ezeibekwe ,
who is the priest of Dwelling Fullness of God Church , Agba.
The youth of the village had set ablaze the church , Dwelling Fullness of God
Church, where the wedding was conducted .
Ezeibekwe said he did not pay any bride price to anybody in respect of the
marriage .
“I don ’ t feel guilty . I don ’ t feel ashamed . I don ’ t feel intimidated in any
way . Only God can stop us, ” he said .
The Anambra State Police Public Relations Officer, Nkeiruka Nwide, said she
heard the story “unofficially . ”
Reacting to the issue, the traditional prime minister of Ekwulobia , Gabriel
Ezeukwu, said , “ Agba village youths, who saw the marriage as an
abomination, set ablaze the church where the wedding took place .
“ I restrained them from
further action against the
man and his family . If it
were in the past , the
entire family would be
burnt down because this
is a grave abomination
and sin . ”
The eldest son of the
family , Emeka Ezeibekwe ,
vowed to resist their
union .
He said , “ It’ s over my
dead body that they will call themselves husband and wife. It can ’ t happen. ”
