The Port Harcourt Local Government Area of Rivers State has sealed off the premises of the Federal Marriage Registry located on Railway Close, on Monday.
The Secretary of the LGA, Chile-Kay Owuru said, the action was taken to enforce the Federal High Court order issued by Honourable Justice D.E Osiogor on December 8, 2021 which states that the Federal Ministry of Interior has no right to conduct marriages and issue marriage certificates under the Marriage Act of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
