Call it incest or something, it does not seem to affect or change the decision of the two lovers who are alleged to be from same family but insist on getting married to each other in Benue State.
The prospective groom, Benjamin Terhenba Kpamngu also known as Bemshima shared a trending video on YouTube, saying he is set to marry his father’s cousin.
The video reveals a conversation held in the Tiv language between a man said to be Bemshima’s father and another man. In the conversation, the father expressed dissatisfaction with the planned wedding.
He stated, “I have tried to stop my son from getting married to the lady because she is a daughter to my father’s sister but he insists on going ahead with the marriage. Not just that, the lady is older than my son…my son was born 26th of April 1991″.
However, in another video released days after, the bride-to-be said she had been dating her fiance for six years. She further refuted the claim by the groom’s father saying she is not closely related to her fiancé at all and that a background check was conducted by her family before their introduction took place.
