Guests who attended the wedding of Vice President Yemi Osinbajo’s
daughter, Oludamilola to Seun Bakare, son of billionaire businesswoman,
Bola Shagaya, were barred from taking their phones into the venue of the
church service.
According to reports, as the guest
arrived the National Ecumenical center, they were ordered by the
security details to leave their phones in their cars. The water tight
security at the venue ensured that the guests complied as directed.
Also
journalists were barred from photographing or filming the church. A
message sent out from the VP’s media team to State House reporters read;
“Media
cameras will not be required and therefore not welcomed in today’s
(Saturday’s) events both in church and the reception. Please accept our
request and need for an entirely PRIVATE event”.
This
same event played out at the traditional wedding on Thursday when no
photos were released by guests except the ones released officially by
the Vice President and his wife on their social media handles.
