Popular Nigerian singer, Banky W, has reacted as a court declared marriages conducted at the Ikoyi Marriage Registry as illegal and invalid.
According to reports, there’s an ongoing legal dispute between the Local government Areas of Nigeria against the Federal government for the determination of who have the power to operate marriage registries, conduct marriages and issue marriage certificates.
However, recently the federal High court sitting in Ikoyi held in the favor of the Eti Osa local government granted their prayers while stating that it is statutorily the job of the local governments as provided by the law and only the local governments have the power to do such and the acts of the federal government through the ministry of interior operating marriage registries is clearly beyond their powers, which makes all marriages conducted by federal marriage registries or through their agents illegal and invalid.
