After getting married to a 14 year old Egyptian girl named Marian, former Zamfara state governor, who is currently a senator in Nigeria, Sen. Ahmed Yerima, has reportedly divorced her to marry a new wife; according to City People magazine. Reports say 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.
Yerima’s ex-wife Marian who is now 17 and a mother of one, is believed to be the daughter of the former governor’s driver whenever he visits Egypt. The reason he divorced her is to enable him take a new wife as he’s not allowed more than four wives.
The Senator is alleged to have married and divorced a few women in the last few years.
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 against Islamic beliefs.
