SENATOR YERIMA TAKES ANOTHER UNDERAGE GIRL AS WIFE

Senator Ahmed Yerima

Senator Yerima is at it again, three years after marrying a 14 year old Egyptian girl named Marian, which was widely protested in Nigeria, the serving senator of the federal republic of Nigeria, has reportedly divorced her to marry a new wife.

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, was divorced in order for the senator to take a new wife as his religion does not allow 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.
