Popular Nollywood actress, Ngozi Ezeonu has been dragged for marrying off her daughter, Odechukwu Ediwa Ezeonu, without getting the father’s consent.
It should be noted that the said daughter got married on Saturday, February 15, in a classy traditional ceremony held in Asaba, Delta state.
Media also reported that the girl’s daughter, who is also Ngozi’s ex-husband, Denis Ikpelue, was not present at the event.
In a viral media report, the man said that the daughter got married without his hand, saying that the Igbo tradition does not allow a woman to give out a daughter’s hand in marriage.
He was quoted as saying that such is an “abomination and taboo”, adding that “…as long as I and the entire family of Ezeonu and his kindred are concerned, Ogechukwu Edwina Ezeonu is not married.”
Dennis described the marriage ceremony like the one that happens in Nollywood movies, saying it is not a real one.
“Ogechukwu Edwina Ezeonu is yet to marry. What happened at Asaba Delta State on the 15th of February 2020 was the usual Nollywood home video film shooting. As at the time I lived with Ngozi Denis Ikpelue, I have three children; a daughter and two boys,” he said.
