As the ‘couple’ waited yesterday, to be pronounced man and wife
by the General Overseer of Overcomers Church World Outreach International,
Aguda , Lagos, Rev Moses, an angry woman stormed the aisle, bringing the
wedding ceremony to an abrupt halt. Time was 10.30am. The lady, identified as
sister of the well-known actor’s wife came up with a long list of verbal
allegations, and Akiyesi’s wedding to his pregnant ‘beau’ was stopped.
According to his sister-in-law who stormed the wedding venue with
their wedding certificate, the actor and her sister, Lillian, had got married
on November 25, 2011, in Port Harcourt. She said they got the information about
the wedding on Friday night, disclosing that Lillian had called the new ‘wife’,
Uloma Frances, and warned her to desist from making any further marriage
arrangement with Solomon, and Uloma apologized.
She told the crowd that they were amazed to hear on Friday night
that Uloma did not call off the arrangement, and was even set to wed yesterday.
Sunday Sun also gathered that Lillian and her sister drove into the church
premises in a Prado Jeep but she chose to remain inside the vehicle while the
controversy lasted. Checks revealed that the certificate that her sister had
bore, “Living Faith Church Worldwide Incorporated; No 4, Kaduna Street, Winners
Way, D-Line Port Harcourt” address.
At the peak of the confusion, the bride was quickly taken out of
the premises and Solomon later mounted the podium and apologized to the church
and the guests. He said that his carelessness led to the unfortunate and
embarrassing incident and that he had learnt his lessons. “I just want to say
that I take responsibility for all that has happened. It’s my entire fault and
I’m reaping the fruits of my carelessness today.
But my carelessness has taught me a big lesson in life and I
must move on,” he said. Solomon, who looked embarrassed stressed that he would
do everything possible and take every step to regain his happiness. Addressing
the church members on the incident, the General Overseer of the church, Bishop
Moses, said he would not have allowed the wedding if he knew that Solomon was
formally married and did not properly divorce his former wife.
