A bizarre mix-up has sparked drama in Cross River State after a family used another man’s wedding photo to design their grandfather’s burial poster—and now, the original owner of the image is threatening to sue for damages!
The controversial funeral announcement has left many in shock after it was discovered that the grieving family edited out the groom’s head, replaced it with their late grandpa’s face, and then printed the image for burial posters and programmes.
The unsuspecting groom, whose wedding picture was used without consent, was outraged when he saw the altered image circulating. He has since vowed to take legal action against the family for what he calls a gross violation and disrespect.
The incident has divided opinions on social media, with some Nigerians arguing that the man has every right to be angry, while others believe he should just move on, since “it’s just a picture.”
But really, how did this happen? How does a grieving family stumble upon a random wedding picture, crop out the groom’s head, and decide it’s the perfect image for a funeral announcement?
Social media has been buzzing with reactions, and many people can’t help but ask—”Na mistake or na cruise?”
What do you think? Should the groom take legal action or just let it slide?
