A Nigerian couple’s engagement ceremony turned dramatic and awry following requests made by his wife-to-be’s family.

The groom reportedly abandoned the marriage rites and stormed out of the venue because he felt they were trying to extort him despite providing the items on the bride price list.

In video posted online, a journalist who went to cover the event, narrated how the bride’s family said the seasoning cubes and malt drinks provided were not enough and they asked for more.

This apparently angered the groom who then walked out on everyone and his family members gradually followed suit.

Attendees at the engagement ceremony were thrown into confusion when this happened as people could be seen moving back and forth.
