One supposed to be enough, not for this guy. A Nigerian 84-year-old Muslim preacher, Mohammed Bello, have 86 wives!
Now a Nigerian court has granted temporary reprieve to the 84-year-old after local leaders threatened to force him to leave the area unless he divorced all but four of them.
He has launched a legal challenge after local chiefs and Muslim leaders in Bida, a town in central Niger state where he lives with his wives and some 170 children, gave him some time to comply with Islamic sharia law, which allows a man to have no more than four wives at a time.
The preacher said in his petition that the threats violated his right to life and personal liberty.
The ruling gives Bello temporary protection from banishment while the court decides whether his rights have indeed been violated.
