Nigerian singer. Damilola Afolabi, popularly known as L.A.X and his wife, Ella, have held their Nikkah ceremony, formalising their union under Islamic law.\n<\/p>\n

The couple held the Islamic wedding on Thursday night, following their civil wedding in Malta in September.\n<\/p>\n

The ceremony\u2019s programme included an opening prayer, introduction of guests, recitation from the Holy Qur\u2019an, thanksgiving, a naming ceremony, the Nikkah, blessings and a closing prayer, alongside donations to the mosque.\n<\/p>\n

The inclusion of a naming ceremony in the programme has raised questions about its purpose, including whether it was connected to a possible conversion to Islam.<\/p>\n

However, there is no confirmation in the available information that Ella converted to the religion.<\/p>\n
