A wedding ceremony reportedly came to an abrupt end in the Wellington area of Freetown on Sunday after police intervened and arrested several individuals connected to the event over allegations that the bride was under the legal age for marriage.
According to reports, the bride is said to be 16 years old, prompting law enforcement authorities to take swift action after receiving information about the planned union.
Several guests and individuals believed to have played roles in organizing the ceremony were reportedly taken into custody for questioning.
Sources indicate that the wedding was halted before it could be completed, with authorities launching an investigation into possible violations of child protection and marriage laws.
