Groom-to-Be Arrested After Paying Lobola with Fake Money. According to allegations, a 52-year-old Nigerian national, Adeloye Johnson, has been arrested in South Africa after he was accused of using counterfeit money to pay lobola valued at R120,000.

The shocking incident reportedly unfolded during marriage negotiations, where Johnson allegedly handed over stacks of cash to the bride’s family as part of the traditional bride price agreement.

The matter only came to light when the bride’s family attempted to deposit the money at a local bank. To their dismay, bank officials identified every single note as fake, immediately raising suspicions and prompting the family to alert authorities.

The revelation not only brought the negotiations to an abrupt halt but also left the community in disbelief, as lobola is considered a sacred cultural practice that symbolizes respect, unity, and the joining of two families.

Johnson was swiftly taken into custody following the discovery, and investigations are now underway to determine how he obtained the counterfeit currency and whether he may be linked to a broader criminal network.

The incident has sparked widespread discussion in the area, with many expressing anger and disappointment at what they describe as an insult to both the bride’s family and local traditions.
