Simi and Adekunle Gold react after learning their wedding at Ikoyi Registry is considered invalid

Singers Simi and Adekunle Gold have reacted after announcement that weddings like theirs conducted at the Ikoyi Registry are considered invalid.

A Federal High Court sitting in Lagos ruled that it is unconstitutional for the federal government to conduct marriages. It said all marriages conducted by federal marriage registries or through their agents are illegal and invalid.

The judge submitted that the conduct of marriages and issuance of certificates are statutorily the job of the local governments as provided by the law.

Reacting, Simi wrote on Twitter: “Ngbor @adekunleGOLD we have been fornicating?”

Her husband, Adekunle, responded: “My own na make dem do refund.”
