The suspects, however, denied the allegation that the event was a birthday party and not a wedding ceremony as claimed.
According to one of the suspects Khalifa, he “organized the party for his birthday and his friend Abubakar gave him a cake in his mouth and followed it to his mouth.”
Daurawa said the two suspects are in their custody and an investigation is ongoing.
