Fatima Ribadu has apologized over her choice of dress for her wedding ceremony

Recall the daughter of former EFCC boss, Nuhu Ribadu wedded former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar's son recently

The nature of her wedding gown, however, caused a stir on social media amongst conservative Muslims

In a post shared to her Instastory, Fatima apologized for 'causing her family and friends dismay'

Former EFCC boss, Nuhu Ribadu's Fatima Ribadu has taken to social media to apologize to her family and friends over the backlash her choice of wedding gown attracted.

Over the weekend, Fatima had tied the knot with the son of former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar's son, Aliyu and the event which took place in Abuja was graced by dignitaries.

However, her wedding gown seemed to attract a lot of side talks on social media due to the nature of the design. Fatima rocked a lacey mermaid-like dress with a sheer fabric - the shade of her skin - underneath the lace.

For many people, the design was not befitting of a Muslim bride who is expected to cover up for her ceremony.

This earned her criticisms on social media and for that, Fatima has taken to her Instagram page to apologize.

In a note shared to her Instagram story which was restricted to close friends, the beautiful newlywed explained the nature of the dress, stating that the underdress was mistaken for her skin.

She, however, apologized for causing her family and friends dismay.
