This 30-year-old man named Ugo Madugba was arrested by policemen of the Dolphin Police Division in Ikoyi. The reason? Marrying his 28-year-old wife, Nono Orji, without the express approval of her parents.
Nono Orji, who is a medical doctor, commented in a Facebook post that her husband was arrested on the orders of her parents who have been against their marriage.
She said: “The Nigerian police in Dolphin Estate, Ikoyi, just arrested an innocent 30-year-old man called Ugo Madugba for an offence of marriage. Marriage has become a crime in Nigeria, according to Dolphin police station in Ikoyi. Mr. Ugo got married to Dr. Nono a 28-year-old medical doctor.
Her father has been very distraught about it and has used the police to threaten the young couple to the extent of arresting all those who acted as witnesses to the marriage who are now in custody.
He has been denied access to his family and friends and information reaching us has it that his lawyer was also denied access to him. There is a belief that a plan to poison Ugo is being hatched. Please, forward this message to as many people as possible lets save Ugo’s life.”
Orji said in another Facebook post that her parents were trying to force her to marry another man, but when she refused, they accused her husband of hypnotizing her.
Fortunately, soon the guy was released. Madugba confirmed this fact to correspondents. He said: “I have been released and I am very grateful.”
