A man reported to be rich in Niger State, Nigeria, Yakubu Chanji, has tied the knot with a teenager said to be 15-year-old. Neighbours of the age-gap couple said that Mr Chanji is in his early 70s.
According to Daily Nigerian, the wedding Fatiha took place on Monday in Lapai, Niger State, with family and friends in attendance.
Mr Chanji, also known as Nafsi-Nafsi in Minna city, earned the sobriquet “Chanji” for his frequent divorces and replacement of wives.
“He is a philanthropist in Kwangila area of Minna. He has contributed immensely to the community, especially the building of the community mosque.
“We call him Chanji because he regularly ‘changes’ wives. In my knowledge, he married at least 12 times, but other people say it could be up to 20 times.
