Three years after marrying a 14 year old
Egyptian girl named Marian, which was widely
protested in Nigeria, former Zamfara state
governor and serving senator of the federal
republic of Nigeria, Sen. Ahmed
Yerima, has reportedly divorced her to marry a
new wife..
According to the magazine, 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 said to be 15
years old.
Marian who is now 17 and a mother of one, is
believed to be the daughter of the former
governor's driver whenever he visits Egypt. The
reason he divorced her is to enable him take a
new wife as he's not allowed more than four
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.
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 years, saying it was anti-
Islam
