A social media user has shared the photos of a wedding card of two Igbo Muslims which is set to hold in Imo State.
The couple identified as Aishat Ugochi Obi and Nurudeen (Nicholas) Ikeocha will tie the knot in April in what is being described as the first Islamic marriage in the state.
The social media user who shared the story, wrote:
“There have been this notion that Igbos are all Christians, well I present to you, the first open Igbo Muslim marriage. Igbos are known to be very accommodating.
“Many have had this erroneous belief that Igbos don’t have Muslim brethren but in fact, many Igbos have heard many positions in the Islamic arena.”
“We have the likes of Sheikh Abdullahi Adam Idoko, who is the Chief Imam of University of Nigeria Nsukka. Ustaz Christian Isah Okonkwo, who was made the Chief Imam of University of Ibadan in the 1980s, Alhaji Abudulaziz Chibuzo Ude, who is the founder of Nok Publishers and First African editor at Double Day.”
