EMIR SANUSI MARRIES 18 YEARS OLD PRINCESS AS FOURTH WIFE.

The Emir of Kano has married Sa’adatu Barkindo-
Musdafa, the daughter of the Lamido of
Adamawa, Muhammadu Barkindo-Musdafa.
Sa’adatu, 18, is the emir’s fourth wife. She
recently completed secondary school and is being
enrolled for higher studies.
Premium Times reports that the wedding fatiha
held inside the palace of the Lamido minutes after
Jumma’at prayer.
According to the report, the influential emir only
sent out invitation to some dignitaries across the
country, adding that Kano government officials
sneaked into Yola for the wedding fatiha to avoid
journalists.
The Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, was
said to have acted as the guardian for the groom,
while his Adamawa counterpart, Jibrilla Bindow,
played the role of the bride’s guardian, who gave
her hands out in marriage to the monarch.
