Where is the justice for this girl? The govt is just protecting their own again as usual. So sad.
Lock him up. Nobody is untouchable.
Absolutely sick. This is child abuse plain and simple. Nigeria needs to wake up and hold these big men accountable.
This man is a disgrace to the senate. How can he marry a child?? He should be in jail not making laws for our country.
14 years old! She is a child. He used his money to buy her and thinks he is above the law. Disgusting!!!
