"My Wife Is 21" - 60-Year-Old Kano Man Accused Of Marrying 11-Year-Old (Photos)

A 60-year-old man, Aminu Danmaliki, accused of marrying an 11-year-old girl in Kano State, has spoken out about the rumour, IGBERETV reports.

The wedding video recently went viral on social media, with people claiming he married an 11-year-old girl, which they condemned, claiming that underage girls should be protected rather than married off to old men.

Danmaliki, via his Facebook page on Wednesday, claimed that his wife is 21 years old and not 11 years as people claimed on social media.

He wrote,

“My recent marriage with Sakina has generated a lot of tension and unfounded allegations that I married an underage girl some suggesting she is 11 years old and that she was forced to marry me. That is untrue.

“The wedding video went viral. We decided to keep mute but were advised to state the true facts. Here it is: My beloved wife is 21 years old she made her own choice of me as her husband, and I loved her too.

“I hope the blackmailers and doubting Thomas's will see the reality in this picture and leave us alone to enjoy our honeymoon.”

Don't put the blame on men, blame the young girl who couldn't resist the man's money. I tell you this for free, that lady will definitely start cheating very soon. It's not rocket science

Why won't she cheat? Does this man look enticing or appealing?

No doubt,if she sees what a guy her age looks like, man go hungry am. Wetin be this kwanu? Hian!

The man didn't force her, she made her choice. Besides the girl isn't 11 years old, she's 21.

This is the kind of marriage I also want for myself. Elderly men are the most romantic men living on earth. Young men are not romantic, they are rude and broke.

Biko, people should learn to mind their business.

If she's truly 21 then we all need to apologise to you but seriously the two pictures don't look like the same girl....

Older men and their love for young ladies sha. See as he’s smiling sheepishly. Na older men even sabi toast pass these young men, they are matured and will overlook your flaws while helping you to grow. She made her choice and I don’t have problems with that.

All this girls plenty for Abj here, there families would have forced them to marry at an early age to an older man, if them con see person them go dey look u seductively, Abeg no be me u go cause problem for, cause their husband are always powerful, if them catch person jail straight

I dont know but the two girls dont feel the same.
Northern girls dey fine sha.
Happy married life regardless

Ok we hear you
