SACRILEGIOUS

Anambra Church Burnt For Wedding Siblings!!!

A Church in Ekwulobia, Aguata Local Government Area of Anambra State has been set ablaze by some irate youths of Agba village in the area for wedding siblings, Chiadi (25) and his 17 year old  sister (name withheld).

The authority of the church, ‘Dwelling Fullness of God Church’, Agba, was said to have attracted the wrath of the youths who saw Chiadi’s action as an abomination.

A source who pleaded anonymity, told our correspondent that the wedding was conducted by Chiadi’s elder brother, Mr Chijioke Ezeibekwe, a priest of the church.

“In an apparent reaction to the unusual wedding, Agba Village youths who saw the marriage as abomination set ablaze the church where the wedlock took place,” the source said.

We learnt that Chiadi had supported his actions by citing Deuteronomy 36: 6 of the Holy Bible which he said permitted marriage between brothers and sisters of the same parents.

In a sharp reaction, however, a member of the Church, Daniel Ezeobi, was said to have disagreed that the Bible authorised such marriage, describing it as an abomination.

“Leviticus 18:9 of the Bible, is clearly against incest. The eldest brother of Chiadi, Emeka, was the person who reported  the “incestuous act” to the  kindred head, who summoned the family to an emergency meeting and mobilised the youth against the marriage,” he said.

Addressing journalists, the father of the “bride and bridegroom”, whose name was given as ‘Luisco’, expressed sadness over the ugly incident, adding that his concern was a way of remedying the situation.

“What has happened, has happened”, he simply added.

On her part, their mother was said to have claimed that his son’s action was biblical, insisting that her son paid the dowry as required by the tradition.

A member of the community who spoke on condition of anonymity described the couple as new converts of the church.

He said ‘`Since they were baptized into the church, about two years ago, they have engaged in weird and rebellious behaviour as well as false teachings.

“Because of their rebellious attitude and false teachings, we have since ostracised them,” he said.

Surely incest has been a taboo in almost all cultures of life but little known is there are biological effects like mutations that tends to be "Rare birth conditions" as it would be medically termed... Even if there's not always a mutation, inbreeding with someone you're related to brings up a lot of problems involving recessive traits. Because the two of you have similar genes, any recessive abnormalities you have can be passed on more easily and expressed more visibly in your offspring. This also means that, even if you don't show any signs of genetic disorders yourself, your child may show incest-related genetic mutations. It is important to note that these traits and mutations don't always arise from incest, but they can show up more frequently through incestuous breeding. I

I rest my case!!
