Despite the lockdown, many Muslim scholars from the northern and south western regions of the country graced the Nikaah, which has been branded as the most celebrated Igbo Muslim wedding in recent times.

Speaking with Muslim News Islamtainment, Aisha Obi said, “I feel so happy getting married to my dream man.

I am happy because the Nikaah was a success.”
While reacting to the turn out and calibre of personalities that honoured her, she said, “That very day, I didn’t expect what my eyes saw. The show of love was overwhelming. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic which restricted some guests from attending, others — both within and outside the state, graced it in their numbers. I am really excited and grateful to them all, for making my day.”
