One of the groomsmen, content creator @yankohboy_, stated that they had invested N185,000 in their suits, only to be barred from entering due to their braided hairstyles.

"So, guys, this church you are seeing over here, somewhere in Port Harcourt. I don't even know the name of the church. Looking at us, you would know that we have spent so much. Owning this suit is N185,000. After spending so much, we came to this church for our friend's wedding. We are part of the groomsmen; they asked us to stay outside because of our hair," he explained in the clip.

The content creator also questioned what was objectionable about their appearance and the female guest's outfit.

"Just look at us. Look at the girl over there (points at the lady in a white dress), because of her dress, they asked her not to enter the church. What is wrong with this dress? Look at us, what is wrong with us? I thought here God said he is after our hearts, not our dress. They bounced us. This is a church, not even a club. E no make sense now," he said.
