The Okolos emphasized that any attempt to lure their sons into Nigeria under the guise of such marriage arrangements will be treated as a criminal act. They warned that the families involved will be held personally and legally liable for any deceptive moves.
The family further clarified that their decision is final, citing what they described as irreconcilable differences in values and beliefs with the proposed brides.
In a move underscoring the seriousness of their position, the Okolo family confirmed that local authorities, town unions in the affected communities, and security agencies have all been officially notified of their disassociation from the said marriages.
The development has sparked conversations in Alor and beyond, with community members debating the implications of families issuing public disclaimers against purported marriages, a practice that is rare but not entirely unprecedented in Igbo customary contexts.
