A source who spoke on the condition of anonymity said Nanono’s family had kicked against the wedding but the minister insisted on marrying the girl despite the over 50 years age gap.

“The minister only assigned three people and warned them against disclosing the details of the marriage to people. The minister is madly in love. He appeared unstoppable,” the source said.
