My husband is a Muslim and entitled to more than one wife – Nigerian actress Mercy Aigbe

Following the backlash Nigerian actress, Mercy Aigbe has been receiving, she has said that her husband, Kazim Adeoti, being a Muslim is entitled to marry more than one wife.

She said this in a message sent to a TVC presenter, Morayo Afolabi-Brown who read it on her talk show, Your View on Thursday.

According to her, the message was to clear the air on her marriage to the movie producer, Kazim Adeoti.

Morayo said:

“Mercy Aigbe had called me because she felt that we were misleading the direction of our conversation. According to her, her current husband which she recently got married to and her ex were never friends.

“And secondly she told me that ‘Morayo the man is a Muslim he is entitled to more than one wife. Yes, he had issues with the first wife so he is not marrying her as a second wife'. And she has accepted to be a second wife. Doesn’t she deserve to be happy?

"She was really upset that people were going to her DM threatening her kids and this has nothing to do with her children.”

The drama surrounding Mercy Aigbe began after she took to her social media page on Sunday to reveal her marriage to Kazim. She shared photos of themselves with praises as she celebrates his birthday.
