T&T Wedding Update: No Pressmen,Journalists, Cameras Allowed

Journalists and pressmen have been barred
from the wedding ceremony between Tiwa
Savage and her soon-to-be hubby, Tunji ‘Tee-
Billz’ Balogun, which started in the morning of
November 23, 2013, Saturday.
Security officials from Bolt Events security company
and soldiers stationed at the Ark Vicinity, Lekki –
the venue of the event – have refused to allow
journalists with video and photo cameras into the
premises despite showing up with their invitation
and access cards.
“It is the instruction we were given. Even guests
will not be allowed to use their camera phones
to take pictures of the couple,” one of the
security men told a group of journalists.
TheNetNG informs that the celebrity couple gave
the video rights of the wedding ceremony to HipTV.
It is believed the couple wants to control what is
reported.
A photojournalist who claims the couple invited him
to the wedding says he surprised he has been
refused entry.
“I’m leaving”, said the irate journalist waving his
access card.
Meanwhile, the wedding is well underway; the
groom arrived first in an unmarked black
Bentley wearing a white agbada and cap with
black suede shoes followed by the bride minutes
later.
Despite a heavy downpour, the wedding
proceedings are still going on.
King Sunny Ade’s band is already in place tuning up
their sound. The legendary Juju singer as earlier
announced will be performing for the couple
guests.
