This didn’t sit well with the missionary priest and he took to his Facebook page to strongly condemn the practice of women wearing wedding dresses to pray for husbands.

He deemed it “disgusting” and indicative of desperation, and emphasized the urgency of putting an end to the trend before it becomes accepted as normal.

Kelvin Ugwu reacts

“It is now becoming a trend, and the more we keep quiet, it will soon be seen as normal,” he stated.

To all those churches asking women to wear wedding gowns to church so they can pray to have husbands, what you are doing is not Christian. . . In fact, it is disgusting.

What sort of desperation is this?

Why are you not asking the men to put on wedding suits and pray for wives?

And by the way, why do you need them to put on wedding gowns, is that what makes the marriage?

And to those who will gladly hire wedding gowns and wear them to church because you were told that it would connect you to your husbands, let me ask you this

When you pray for husbands, what exactly are you telling God to do?

That he should suspend the reasoning and choosing capacity of the type of man you want (and it usually rich men you want) so that even when your attitudes, character, and personality are not what he wants, he will close his eyes to all of them and marry you?”

Some suspected victims of child trafficking in Imo state have been intercepted by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA).

Femi Babafemi, NDLEA spokesperson, spoke on Sunday while giving details of the agency’s activities across the country.

Babafemi said the operatives made the interception while on patrol along Aba-Owerri expressway on Wednesday.

According to the spokesperson, the girls were suspected to be victims of child trafficking.

He said they were picked up while being relocated from their hideout in the Naze area of Owerri, the state capital to another part of the city.

Babafemi identified the victims as Chioma Emmanuel, 15; Uma Faith, 15; Divine Adimonye, 17; Opara Gift, 15; and Amarachi Mbata, 16.

“In their statements, they claimed they didn’t know the men who impregnated them,” he added.

“The Imo state command of the agency has since been directed to hand them over to the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons, NAPTIP, for further investigations.”

Speaking on more activities, Babafemi said the agency arrested a passenger identified as Ugwu Peter Tochukwu who was travelling through the Murtala Muhammed International Airport to Oman on a Qatar Airways flight.

“Upon a thorough search of his luggage, 7.50 kilograms of skunk were discovered concealed inside crayfish mixed with dry bitter leaf,” Babafemi said.

“In the same vein, NDLEA officers of the Directorate of Operations and General Investigations attached to some courier companies also intercepted Dubai-bound 2.9 kilograms of skunk and 14 grams of methamphetamine concealed in bags of semovita and soles of ladies’ high heel shoes respectively.”

MORE ARRESTS IN ABUJA, OGUN, KOGI

Babafemi said two suspects identified as Moses Akowe, 32, and Sunday Gabriel, 31, were arrested with 227.1kgs of cannabis on Tuesday in Ikebe village, Ankpa LGA of Kogi state.

The agency said 27-year-old Kingsley Chimaobi was arrested with 6,000 bottles of codeine-based syrup along Lokogoma-Abuja road on the same day.

“A total of 100 blocks of cannabis weighing 55kgs and 600 bottles of codeine-based syrup seized from the duo of Salisu Murtala and Shafi’u Dahiru on Tuesday 11th September along Abuja road have been traced to two other suspects: Muntari Nasiru and Yusuf Ali who were arrested in follow up operations in Kano,” the statement added.

“Meanwhile, a Federal High Court in Lagos on Wednesday 13th September sentenced to five years imprisonment a drug dealer, Segun Odeyemi for trafficking and dealing in 3,842 kilograms of skunk.

“He was arrested on Saturday 1st July while conveying 89 jumbo bags of the illicit substance in his truck around Eleganza area of Ajah, Lekki. He was subsequently charged in suit number FHC/L/388C/2023 presided over by Justice Akintayo Aluko.”

Babafemi added that the agency is committed to ridding the country of illicit drugs.
