The
Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, has finally tied the knot with his rumoured
heartthrob, Sa’adatu Barkindo-Musdafa, the daughter of the Lamido of Adamawa,
Muhammadu Barkindo-Musdafa.
The
18-year old becomes the emir’s fourth wife. She recently completed secondary
school and is been enrolled for advanced level studies.
In
addition to his first wife, Sadiya, who is the daughter of the late emir of
Kano, Ado Bayero, Mr. Sanusi has two other wives — Maryam and Rakiya.
The
secret wedding was contracted in a low-keyed ceremony in the town of Yola on
Friday.
Palace
sources in Yola told Premium Times the
wedding fatiha held inside the palace of the Lamido minutes after Jumma’at
prayer.
Insiders
say that the influential emir only sent out invitation to some dignitaries
across the country, as 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.
Mr.
Sanusi’s rumoured marriage to the princess was debunked in the past.
“His
decision to take a new wife is in line with Islamic injunction.
Islam
allows having a maximum of four wives for those who can treat all of them
equally and provide for a large family,’’ said a top Kano state government
official who travelled to Yola for the wedding.
