Sen. Yerima Divorces 17-Yr- Old To Marry 15-Yr-Old"

Three years after marrying a 14 year old Egyptian girl
named Marian, former Zamfara state governor and
serving senator of the federal republic of Nigeria, Sen.
Ahmed Yerima, has divorced her to marry a younger
girl, reports provide.

According to the information available, Sen. Yerima and
four men, said to be members of the Zamfara State House
of Assembly were in Egypt a few weeks ago for the
wedding fathia of a new bride. It has been learnt that the
girl is 15 years old.
Mr. Yerima has one child from Marian, who is 17 now. The
reason he divorced her is to enable him take a new wife as
he's not allowed more than 4 wives.
The Senator is alleged to have married and divorced a few
women in the last few years but has never changed his
first three wives, only the fourth ones.
It would be recalled tha Sen. Ahmed Yerima this year was
strongly against the deletion of the section of the 1999
constitution which pegged the official marriage age in
Nigeria as 18 year, saying it was anti-Islam.
