Journalists and pressmen have been barred from the wedding ceremony between Tiwa Savage and her soon-to-be hubby, Tunji ‘Tee-Billz’ Balogun, which started in the morning of November 23, 2013, Saturday.
Security
officials from Bolt Events security company and soldiers stationed at
the Ark Vicinity, Lekki – the venue of the event – have refused to allow
journalists with video and photo cameras into the premises despite
showing up with their invitation and access cards.“It is the instruction we were given. Even guests will not be allowed to use their camera phones to take pictures of the couple,” one of the security men told a group of journalists.
TheNetNG informs that the celebrity couple gave the video rights of the wedding ceremony to HipTV. It is believed the couple wants to control what is reported.
A photojournalist who claims the couple invited him to the wedding says he surprised he has been refused entry.
“I’m leaving”, said the irate journalist waving his access card.
Meanwhile, the wedding is well underway; the groom arrived first in an unmarked black Bentley wearing a white agbada and cap with black suede shoes followed by the bride minutes later.
Despite a heavy downpour, the wedding proceedings are still going on.
King Sunny Ade’s band is already in place tuning up their sound. The legendary Juju singer as earlier announced will be performing for the couple guests.
We shall keep you updated.
