Netizens have been left in shock after a bizarre incident in Cross River State, where a family mistakenly used another man’s wedding photo to design the burial poster of their late father. The unexpected error has since sparked widespread reactions online.
Images from the wedding ceremony have surfaced online, showing the groom and his bride dressed elegantly in their traditional outfit. The couple appeared joyful as they posed for memorable pictures on their special day.
However, things took an unexpected turn when another version of the wedding photo, which has now gone viral, was altered. In the edited image, the groom’s face was replaced with that of the deceased, and the manipulated picture was then used as a burial poster. This shocking edit has left many social media users questioning how such a mistake could have happened.
To make matters worse, the burial poster featuring the manipulated wedding image was shared in a family WhatsApp group, accompanied by an official burial announcement. This led to further confusion when the original groom, whose picture had been used without his knowledge or permission, came across the shocking alteration.
Upon seeing his wedding photo edited and repurposed as a burial announcement, the groom was infuriated. He has since publicly expressed his outrage, describing the act as a serious violation of his personal rights and a blatant act of disrespect. He has also vowed to take legal action against the deceased’s family, demanding accountability for the distress the situation has caused him and his wife.
Reactions have continued to pour in from social media users, with many finding it hard to believe the incident actually happened. Some have speculated that it might be a deliberate prank, while others are in disbelief that such a mistake could occur.
