Former
CBN governor and Emir Of Kano set to marry 17-Year-old girl as his 4th
wife. The Emir of Kano, Malam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, is set to take his
4th wife.
The bridal candidate is a 17-year-old beautiful daughter of
the Lamido of Adamawa, Alhaji Muhammadu Barkindo Aliyu Musdafa.
His
decision to take a new wife is in line with Islamic injunction which
prescribes a maximum of 4 wives for those who can treat all of them
equally. Already, Sanusi has 3 beautiful wives – Sadiya, Maryam and
Rakiya.
Like
in ancient times when bonds between empires were deepened by marriages
among royals and nobles across boundaries, the betrothal of the Adamawa
princess to Emir Sanusi II may also be a move to deepen royal bond
between Adamawa and Kano…..
