It should be noted also that Emir married the daughter of Lamido of Adamawa, Muhammadu Barkindo-Mustafa, in a very moderate ceremony held in Yola on Friday, September 25, 2015.
The young lady then was an 18-year old who just finished from secondary school at the time the wedding was arranged.
At the event then, Governor Abdullahi Ganduje represented the emir (as he was away for Hajj) and the then governor of Adamawa stood as the bride’s guardian that handed her out in marriage.
Emir Sanusi has three other wives who are Sadiya, Maryam, and Rakiya.
