Somto Nwanchukwu returned from school last month and informed his parents he can’t go to school again because he wants to marry.

The reports also claimed that Somto’s family finally bow to the pressure and decided to sponsor his traditional marriage to his heartthrob and also went ahead to set up a retail shop for the couple so that they can take care of their young family.
