A family source has confirmed that Benue bride-to-be, Angel, is 16 years old and had written her SSCE exams this year.
Angel and Michael’s pre-wedding photos had generated mixed reactions online due to the obvious age gap.
According to activist Zege Orkwande, a close relative to the groom who confirmed Angel’s age, claimed that the teenage girl made the decision to marry Michael because she wasn’t sure if her aunt will continue to sponsor her education.
Update: Good evening my people. A close relative to Michael chatted me that Angel is 16yrs. She just finished writing her SSCE exams,” he wrote.
“That she’s staying with her aunty but not sure if the aunty can sponsor her in school again because of her condition. She took decision to marry Michael out of the fear of unknown.
“Sincerely, the girl is underaged. How I wish she continue her school to understand what marriage is before getting into it. CONGRATULATIONS Angel Michael.”
