Leo Da Silva, a former contestant of Big Brother Naija, is facing criticism for his recent wedding to Maryam Laushi in Kaduna.

According to a report by Vistanaij Media, photos and videos of the vibrant ceremony have circulated online, drawing attention to the choice of location and his wife’s Muslim name, which has sparked discussions.
