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.
