The Enugu State Police Command, in partnership with the Ministry of Gender Affairs, has arrested a 30-year-old man for allegedly marrying a 13-year-old girl in Amufie, Enugu Ezike, Igbo-Eze North LGA.
“The arrest follows a viral video on X (formerly Twitter) showing an elaborate wedding ceremony involving the underaged girl.
According to reports, the girl’s parents and a woman known as Ezenwanyi, who is alleged to have arranged and facilitated the union, are said to be detained after widespread public complaints.
The incident sparked strong reactions across the community and on social media, with many condemning the act and calling for stricter enforcement of child protection laws.
In a statement, the concerned Igbo-Eze North Youth (CINY) praised the Enugu State Government, the Ministry of Gender Affairs, and the police for their swift response.
“This arrest reaffirms the state’s commitment to upholding the rights of children and enforcing relevant laws against child abuse, child marriage, and the violation of minors,” the group said.
