In a statement released by Ewache John Ajefu, public relations officer of the church, the couples were given the sacrament of matrimony by Mathew Ishaya Audu, a reverend and Catholic Bishop of Lafia Diocese.

The successful ceremony was put together by the Parish Priest of St Sylvester catholic church, Lawrence Anyembugu which was part of the activities lined up for first pastoral visit of the bishop to the Independent Mission.
