Church Razed As Anambra Teacher Marries Sister by conquerorsegun(m): 6:41pm On Feb 25, 2018 |
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.” source - http://punchng.com/church-razed-as-anambra-teacher-marries-sister/
