Ex-Lawmaker Marries Two Friends As 3rd & 4th Wives In Lagos

Hon. Abdullateef Abdulkareem, a former
member of Lagos House of Assembly and a
former Special Adviser to Governor Babatunde
Raji Fashola on Political and Legislative
Powers, must be a devout Muslim, who
believes in fulfilling all the tenets of the
religion to its letters.

Hon. Abdulkareem, who is a lawyer and the
Chief Imam of the Lagos House of Assembly
since 2003, married his third wife on
Wednesday, July 9, 2014 and he is planning
to marry the fourth on Tuesday, October 28,
2014.
Ironically, his third and fourth wives are
friends. His third wife, Hadizat, is a 23 year-
old corper doing her primary assignment with
Lagos House of Assembly. She graduated from
Crescent University, Abeokuta, Ogun State.

Encomium Weekly gathered that it was
Hadizat who pleaded with her husband, Hon.
Abdulkareem to marry her and her friend,
Rekihat together so that she will have a mate
to play with.

She argued that the two senior wives are too
old for her to play with and would be
difficult for her to relate with and therefore,
pleaded with him to marry her friend.

The man agreed with her and decided to
marry the two friends.
Hadizat’s marriage came up on Wednesday,
July 9, 2014, somewhere in Gbagada, Lagos.
One of those in attendance during the Nikkai
ceremony was Mr. Charles Oputa a.k.a Charly
Boy.

She (Hadizat) had earlier fixed her marriage
for November 2014 because that is when her
parents who reside in Lokoja, Kogi State
would have the opportunity and time to
attend. But when she got the information that
her friend, Rekihat has fixed hers for August,
2014, which will make her Rekihat her senior
in their household, she decided to bring her
parents quickly to do her own Nikkai in July.
Now that her own Nikkai has been
performed, she is said to be happy that she is
going to be her friend’s senior.

When we called Hon. Abdullateef
Abdulkareem, he confirmed the marriage to
us. He was the one who corrected us that the
fourth marriage will be on October 28, 2014
and not August that we heard it will take
place.
