The images confirm that the couple had both a legal and traditional wedding. Initially, many assumed they were Hausa, but a closer look reveals they are Yoruba.
While the exact state where the wedding took place remains unknown, it is within Yorubaland, and many people are expressing their anger. The controversy has led to questions about why the girl’s family allowed her to marry an older man.
Social media users have reacted strongly, with some saying such practices hinder the country’s progress.
