Super Eagles midfielder Kelechi Nwakali has officially tied the knot traditionally with his fiancée, Chidera Hadiza, barely a week after announcing their engagement.
Photos and videos from the ceremony, which have gone viral on social media, captured the couple celebrating their union in grand style while observing traditional Igbo marriage rites.
One of the emotional moments from the event showed Kelechi and his bride kneeling before family elders as they received prayers and blessings, a cherished custom in Igbo culture symbolising respect, unity and the endorsement of both families.
The traditional wedding comes shortly after the footballer proposed to Chidera, sharing loved-up photos from the engagement and confirming that the couple was set to begin a new chapter together.
Fans and well-wishers have since flooded social media with congratulatory messages, celebrating the couple as they embark on their journey as husband and wife.
