According to his mother, Mrs Peace Abraham, her son was born in 2005, after many years of marriage without a child, hence she was forced to accept the marriage to continue her husband’s lineage in the shortest possible time.
She attributed the condition of her late husband’s family as another reason why she accepted to give her minor son out for marriage.
Rev. Okoro Ogbu, the minister in charge of Assemblies of God Church, Amaiyi Igbere, whilst addressing the congratulation, instructed them not to be amazed by the marriage.
