Lawyer reacts as Apostle Chibuzor's son weds
Photos of the wedding, which were shared on Apostle Chibuzor Chinyere's Facebook page, show his son and the woman as they dressed in formal attire, with the bride wearing a wedding gown.
Reacting to the news, a lawyer took to his social media page to declare the marriage invalid and explained his reasons.
He said:
"Apostle Chibuzor of Omega Power Ministry married off his autistic son to a single mother of three children. Let us test the legality or otherwise of that marriage.
"Let me tell you, that marriage is invalid. It is void for two reasons."
The lawyer, who runs a Facebook account called Law Parlour, explained the two reasons he considers the marriage invalid.
He said:
"No. 1, a church ceremony showing marriage is not valid on its own unless it is conducted in a licensed place of worship. That is, a place of worship licensed to carry out statutory marriage."

"So, merely coming to church to show somebody in a black suit and a woman in a white gown does not make a marriage valid.
"No. 2, this is the most important ground why that marriage is invalid. A person of unsound mind cannot contract a marriage. That guy is unsound; his mind cannot comprehend what he is doing. All those things are just a ceremony to give the guy somebody to cohabit with; that is the position of the law."
What he said caught the attention of many people who reacted to the story in the comments section.

Nze Chigozie Elvis wrote:
"I know already sir. A guy that needs help,u go carry toto give am."
Dwonderful Counsellor said:
"You are correct my brother. Marriage is contract between two sound minds. It's should be their choices. What he needs is a caregiver not a marriage."
Tonye Abel Briggs added:
"Can married men claim they weren't of sound mind before their "marriage ceremony"?"
Elley Nornormeh stressed:
"Under what criteria is someone classified as having unsound mind?Is there any legal law that should prevent an individual with autism from bonding matrimonially with another consented individual?Is autism a barrier that should prevent a man from creating his own family through marriage based on the discretion of his nearest family who were responsible for his upkeep all his life?If he has autism does that mean the end of his lineage."
Fatai Abiodun noted:
"Do they inform the public that they married under the Act? The marriage is valid in line with customs and traditions."
Oori Patrick added:
"LoL LAW Parlour you even break it down for them in simple language but they still de ask questions."
Elizabeth Emmanuel shared:
"The boy's consent wasn't even there, because he doesn't know what is going on around him."
Ayomide Mike wrote:
"So is it in our law that someone without sound mind should not married?"
Mondi Mondi Jevas added:
"You said "that is the position of the supreme court" my question is, by which supreme court case?? Bring me a case here let me grown you sir."
Jackrich Dabaye said:
"Is she your sister? Are they coming to beg you for food? Is the woman complaining about the Man she got married to? My friend there are things you don't bring to public domain. If you know it was illegal as a legal practitioner, why don't you stop the conduct of the marriage before it was contacted. Rather than coming here to quote section 5."

The lady said the pastor should have helped his son in other ways instead of arranging a marriage. The wedding happened on 29 March 2026. The pastor promised many gifts to the couple, like a free house, a monthly salary, 10 million Naira for the wedding, a 20 million Naira reward after 10 years, and overseas trips.
