25-year-old Chiadikobi Ezeibekwe,  who came under scrutiny for marrying his younger sister, Chibuzor, aged 17, has revealed that God directed him to do so.

Ezeibekwe who teaches Mathematics at a secondary school in Aguata, Anambra State, told Vanguard News in an interview that his research in the Bible encouraged him to take a step to marry his sibling, an act that has left residents in his community disgruntled.

The union between the siblings caused youths in his area of residence to burn down the church that joined the siblings together in Holy matrimony following the act perceived as sacrilegious.

Ezeibekwe who explained the reason for the action said, that marrying his sister will prevent the spread of diseases in his family.

I am a Sabbath and in searching through the scriptures, I discovered that one could marry his siblingSo, we went ahead with the arrangement to marry my younger sister. God told me to marry my sister and she also saw same vision. There are places in the Bible that support such marriage.Those in doubt should read Songs of Solomon chapters 4 and 5 and 1st Corinthians Chapter 7. Since we took this decision, I have not felt anything unusual, or felt that I did anything wrong.In the school where I teach, many people ask me about it and I boldly refer them to the Bible.Besides, by marrying one’s sibling, there will not be the possibility of introducing ugly situations, like diseases or social vices into the family," revealed Ezeibekwe,

However, Lewis, the father of 25-year-old Chiadikobi Ezeibekwe reportedly approved a union between the latter and his younger sister, Chibuzor who is only 17 years old.
