There was chaos in the church, and the church’s security guard bundled pushed them out of the church.

The guards then mounted a defence at the church’s entrance, preventing Osadebe and his family members from entering.

Osadebe and his family members protested and requested an end to the ceremony.

Speaking with The Punch, Osadebe narrated how he sold his land to pay Gloria’s bride price. He said that he was a bus driver until he fell sick and went to the village for treatment.

Osadebe said, when his wife complained to him that they couldn’t feed, he asked that his bus should be sold and the money should be given to his wife to start a business, so she can feed and pay their son’s school fees.

Osadebe revealed that he was surprised when he heard that his wife was getting married. Though he said that he’s ready to let her go, but on the condition that his son is given to him and the bride price he paid should be refunded.
