A mild drama was on display on Saturday after a groom-to-be identified as Rufus Aplang walked out of church during his wedding and abandoned his supposed bride, Judith, in Plateau State.
Aplang fled the God’s Glory Ministry, Jos, venue of the wedding, when it was time to take the wedding vow on Saturday.
According to NAN, his action sent family members, friends, colleagues and associates into wild confusion.
Aplang, was quoted allegedly to have said before walking out of the Church that he had planned 10 years ago to disgrace his supposed bride on their wedding day.
An eyewitness, Miss Julian Dogo, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Sunday in Jos, that the fleeing groom gave shocking answers to the pastor while he was taking his marital vows.
“Aplang was asked on the altar by the pastor, do you take Judith as your wife for batter for worse? Then he replied with a No.
“The pastor put the same question to him, and he replied, ‘Pastor, I heard you clearly, and understand English very well and my answer is still No’
“Then the pastor said to him, but you are well dressed and came ready for this wedding, and he replied, ‘sorry, I made up my mind 10 years ago to disgrace her on our wedding day’
“As soon as he said that, he walked out of the church, and was followed by his best man and his friends who drove out of the church premises,”Dogo told NAN.
However Judith, the supposed bride, collapsed inside the church and was taken to an disclosed hospital around Plateau State Polytechnic in Jos
