(Nigeria) - A Nigerian woman reported to have married four women last weekend in Kano State has denied the allegations. Aunty Maiduguri told the BBC the reports of her wedding were false, and that she was not a lesbian. She said the elaborate wedding celebration held on Sunday was actually a ceremony to raise money for the women's weddings to men. The theatre where the ceremony took place has since been demolished by Kano city's authorities. Aunty Maiduguri and the four other women went into hiding after religious police issued warrants against them.
