June Ruto, the firstborn daughter of Deputy President William Ruto, will exchange wedding vows with her fiancé tomorrow (Thursday, May 27), The Standard has been informed.

The wedding ceremony will be held at the DP’s official residence in Karen, Nairobi, an insider in Ruto’s office said on Wednesday, May 26.

The event will be attended by invited guests only, key among them politicians allied to Ruto.

June Ruto will tie the knot with her Nigerian fiancé, Alexander Ezenagu.

The couple’s wedding is coming nearly two weeks after Ruto –  on May 8 – hosted Alexander’s family members at his Karen residence, where the Nigerian sought the DP’s permission to marry June.

Ruto’s son-in-law-to-be is an assistant law professor at the Hamad Bin Khalifa University (HBKU), a public university in Qatar’s capital, Doha.

The institution, which has been in existence since 2010, describes Ezenagu as an international tax expert, who specialises in international tax law, transfer pricing, tax planning, investment advisory and commercial law advisory and practice.

The Nigerian national holds a Ph.D. in international tax law from McGill University in Canada.

Ezenagu is also a graduate of the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom, where he obtained a Master of Laws Degree.

He holds an undergraduate degree in Law from the University of Ibadan in Nigeria.

Prior to travelling abroad to further his education, Ezenagu was admitted as a Barrister and Solicitor of the Supreme Court of Nigeria.

Information on how the Nigerian citizen and June Ruto met remains scanty.
