Three years after marrying a 14 year old Egyptian girl named
Marian, former Zamfara state governor and serving senator of the federal
republic of Nigeria, Sen. Ahmed Yerima, has divorced her to marry a
younger girl, reports provide.
According
to the information available, Sen. Yerima and four men, said to be
members of the Zamfara State House of Assembly were in Egypt a few weeks
ago for the wedding fathia of a new bride. It has been learnt that the
girl is 15 years old.
Mr. Yerima has one child from Marian, who is
17 now. The reason he divorced her is to enable him take a new wife as
he's not allowed more than 4 wives.
The Senator is alleged to have
married and divorced a few women in the last few years but has never
changed his first three wives, only the fourth ones.
It would be
recalled tha Sen. Ahmed Yerima this year was strongly against the
deletion of the section of the 1999 constitution which pegged the
official marriage age in Nigeria as 18 year, saying it was anti-Islam.
