As Nollywood actor, Solomon Akiyesi, and Uloma Frances Agwu, waited to be pronounced man and wife in Lagos, Nigeria, an angry woman stormed the aisle, bringing the wedding ceremony to an abrupt halt.
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 a 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.
Sunday Sun reported that Lillian and her sister drove into the church premises in a Prado Jeep but she chose to remain inside the vehicle.
During 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," he said.
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.
