Wedding Of Daughter of RCCG Pastor Who Converted To Islam Was Called Off

Charity Uzoechina, the daughter of Redeemed Christian Church of God Pastor, Raymond Uzoechina, who made headlines with her story of conversion to Islam, was set to marry the lawyer who handles her controversial case in court but the Niger state Government called it off.

Aisha (formerly known as Charity) Uzoechina, 26, was supposed to be marrying her Muslim lawyer, Barrister Tijani, reportedly on May 2. However, the Governor of Niger state, Babangida Aliyu, where Uzoechina resides, ordered that the wedding to be stopped as he got information that Aisha's parents were not informed of her upcoming wedding. 

According to Vanguard, imams and other Muslim clerics were already gathered when the wedding was canceled.

The reason why Aisha didn't inform her parent about her upcoming wedding can be the differences between them about her conversion to Islam. Back in 2013, Aisha sued her parents for interfering in her decision to change religion.

Representative of the National body of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Niger state Chapter Chairman, Dr Musa Dada, had informed the State's Commissioner on Religious Matters and the Attorney General of the state about the upcoming wedding between Aisha and Barrister Tijani.

Aisha Uzoechina converted to Islam from Christianity in February, 2013. She has since been in the custody of the state government, residing with the deputy Governor, Alhaji Musa Ibeto.
